Psalter Project - Rock of my Heart (feat. KEPLÜR) Lyrics

God is truly good
To Israel, to the pure in heart
But as for me, my feet had nearly slipped
And my steps had almost tripped

For I coveted arrogant and wicked men
Saw their peace, they have no pain in death, their bodies fat, without
The cares others have. Never struck like other men
Pride around their necks, clothed in violence, fatness from
Their eyes swelling. Hearts flow over with folly
Still they mock, speaking loftily, speaking evil and
Oppression; set their mouth against heaven
Strut their tongue upon the earth, but people turn and see no wrong

And they say, "How can God know?"
And, "Is there knowledge in the Most High?"
Behold, these wicked always live at ease
They make their riches increase

All in vain I have kept my heart clean
Washed my hands in innocence, because all the day long
I am struck; every morning I'm rebuked
If I said that this is how I'll speak see then I'd betray
Your children, of a generation
And I thought, "How can I understand?", but I was overwhelmed

Until I went to God's holy place
And then I understood how they will end
You surely set them in a place to slip
You make them fall to ruin

How desolate they become in a moment!
They will end, swept away by terrors. Like awakening
From a dream is the LORD in arousing
You despise them as just a shadow. But when my heart
Was bitter, when my soul was cut apart
Such a fool, knowing nothing, I was like a beast to you

But I am constantly with you; you are holding my right hand
You guide me with your counsel, then
You take me to glory; whom have I in heav'n?
I want none on earth but you; though my heart and flesh may fail

But God is the Rock of my heart; he's my portion evermore
For see those far from you will die, all untrue; you will end them
But as for me, God's nearness is my good
In the LORD God I take refuge
That I may tell all your works
Oh God is truly good!
