2 But as for me, my feet had almost slipped;

I had nearly lost my foothold.

3 For I envied the arrogant

when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled,

my steps had nearly slipped.

3 For I was envious of the arrogant

when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone;

My steps had well nigh slipped.

3 For I was envious at the foolish,

When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

2 But as for me, I almost lost my footing.

My feet were slipping, and I was almost gone.

3 For I envied the proud

when I saw them prosper despite their wickedness.

2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled;

My steps had nearly slipped.

3 For I was envious of the boastful,

When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

2 But I had almost stopped believing;

I had almost lost my faith

3 because I was jealous of proud people.

I saw wicked people doing well.

2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone;

My steps had well nigh slipped.

3 For I was envious at the arrogant,

When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone, my steps had well nigh slipped; 3 For I was envious at the arrogant, seeing the prosperity of the wicked.

2 But my feet had almost stumbled. 

They had almost slipped 

3 because I was envious of arrogant people 

when I saw the prosperity that wicked people enjoy. 

2 But as for me, my feet almost slipped;

my steps nearly went astray.

3 For I envied the arrogant;

I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled;

my steps had nearly slipped.

3 For I was envious of the arrogant;

I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled.

My steps had nearly slipped,

3 because I envied the boastful

when I saw the well-being of the wicked.

2 But my feet had almost slipped.

I had almost tripped and fallen.

3 I saw that proud and sinful people were doing well.

And I began to long for what they had.
