almost slipped

 ... my feet had almost slipped;
 
       I had nearly lost my foothold.
 For I envied the arrogant
 
       when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
 They have no struggles;
 
       their bodies are healthy and strong.
 They are free from the burdens common to man;
 
       they are not plagued by human ills.
 Therefore pride is their necklace;
 
       they clothe themselves with violence.

 They say, "How can God know?
 
       Does the Most High have knowledge?"

 Surely in vain have I kept my heart pure;
 
       in vain have I washed my hands in innocence.

 When I tried to understand all this,
 
       it was oppressive to me
 till I entered the sanctuary of God;
 
       then I understood their final destiny.

But as for me, it is good to be near God.
 
       I have made Lord Yahweh my refuge;
 
       I will tell of all your deeds.

Psalm 73:2-6,11,13,16,17,28 NIV

[Jesus, catch me when I slip, I am blessed that You don’t let go]
