Psalms 73 · Grade 3

My Feet Almost Slipped

Name Date

Read the Story

The title of Psalm 73 calls it a Psalm by Asaph. He said, Surely God is good. But my feet were almost gone. For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

The wicked seemed to have no troubles. Asaph said, Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain. It was too painful to understand, until he entered God's sanctuary. Then he saw their end.

Asaph said to God, I am continually with you. You have held my right hand. You will guide me. My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. It is good for me to come close to God.

Memory Verse
