Unchanging Truth 1

Truly God is good to Israel, ​to those who are pure in heart. ​Psalm 73:1

​“Blessed are the pure in heart, ​for they shall see God.”​ Matthew 5:8

And we know that for those who love God ​all things work together for good, ​for those who are called according to his purpose. ​Romans 8:28

Asaph’s view of the ungodly 1

Their eyes swell out through fatness; ​their hearts overflow with follies. ​Psalm 73:7

For they have no pangs until death; ​their bodies are fat and sleek. ​Psalm 73:4

​They are not in trouble as others are; ​they are not stricken like the rest of mankind. ​Psalm 73:5

But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled, ​my steps had nearly slipped. ​For I was envious of the arrogant​ when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. ​Psalm 73:2-3

Unchanging Truth 2

until I went into the sanctuary of God; ​then I discerned their end. ​Psalm 73:17

Asaph’s view of the ungodly 2

Truly you set them in slippery places; ​you make them fall to ruin. ​How they are destroyed in a moment, ​swept away utterly by terrors! ​Like a dream when one awakes, O Lord, ​when you rouse yourself, you despise them as phantoms. ​Psalm 73:18-20

When my soul was embittered, ​when I was pricked in heart, ​I was brutish and ignorant; ​I was like a beast toward you. ​Psalm 73:21-22

Nevertheless, I am continually with you; ​you hold my right hand. ​Psalm 73:23

Even though I walk through ​the valley of the shadow of death, ​I will fear no evil, for you are with me; ​your rod and your staff, they comfort me. ​Psalm 23:4

You guide me with your counsel, ​and afterward you will receive me to glory. ​Psalm 73:24

Your commandment makes me ​wiser than my enemies, for it is ever with me. ​I have more understanding than all my teachers,​for your testimonies are my meditation. ​Psalm 119:98-99

My flesh and my heart may fail, ​but God is the strength of my heart ​and my portion forever. ​Psalm 73:26

The LORD is my light and my salvation; ​whom shall I fear? ​The LORD is the stronghold of my life; ​of whom shall I be afraid? ​Psalm 27:1

But the serpent said to the woman,​“You will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, ​and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”​ Genesis 3:4-5

Unchanging Truth 3

But for me it is good to be near God; ​I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, ​that I may tell of all your works. ​Psalm 73:28
