Psalm 73:13-15

New International Reader's Version

¹³ It seems as if I have kept my heart pure for no reason.
    It didn’t do me any good to wash my hands
    to show that I wasn’t guilty of doing anything wrong.
¹⁴ Day after day I’ve been in pain.
    God has punished me in a new way every morning.

¹⁵ What if I had talked like that?
    Then I wouldn’t have been faithful to God’s children.
