No Worries (Free verse) by Dovina
(by Asaph, circa 950BC, Psalm 73 NIV with changes and omissions by Dovina) My feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold. For I envied them In their prosperity, Having no struggles, their bodies healthy and strong, Free from common burdens, not plagued by human ills. Therefore pride is their necklace; they clothe themselves with violence. From their callous hearts comes evil; their conceits are limitless. They scoff, and speak malice; in their arrogance they threaten. Their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession of the earth. Therefore people turn to them and drink their waters in abundance, And 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.”
