诗篇 73
1 亚萨的诗。 神实在恩待以色列那些清心的人！
A Psalm of Asaph. Truly God [is] good to Israel, [even] to such as are of a clean heart.
2 至于我，我的脚几乎失闪； 我的脚险些滑跌。
But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
3 我见恶人和狂傲人享平安就心怀不平。
For I was envious at the foolish, [when] I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 他们死的时候没有疼痛； 他们的力气却也壮实。
For [there are] no bands in their death: but their strength [is] firm.
5 他们不像别人受苦， 也不像别人遭灾。
They [are] not in trouble [as other] men; neither are they plagued like [other] men.
6 所以，骄傲如链子戴在他们的项上； 强暴像衣裳遮住他们的身体。
Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them [as] a garment.
7 他们的眼睛因体胖而凸出； 他们所得的，过于心里所想的。
Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
8 他们讥笑人，凭恶意说欺压人的话； 他们说话自高。
They are corrupt, and speak wickedly [concerning] oppression: they speak loftily.
9 他们的口亵渎上天； 他们的舌毁谤全地。
They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
10 所以 神的民归到这里， 喝尽了满杯的苦水。
Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full [cup] are wrung out to them.
11 他们说： 神怎能晓得？ 至高者岂有知识呢？
And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
12 看哪，这就是恶人； 他们既是常享安逸，财宝便加增。
Behold, these [are] the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase [in] riches.
13 我实在徒然洁净了我的心， 徒然洗手表明无辜。
Verily I have cleansed my heart [in] vain, and washed my hands in innocency.
14 因为，我终日遭灾难； 每早晨受惩治。
For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
15 我若说，我要这样讲， 这就是以奸诈待你的众子。
If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend [against] the generation of thy children.
16 我思索怎能明白这事， 眼看实系为难，
When I thought to know this, it [was] too painful for me;
17 等我进了 神的圣所， 思想他们的结局。
Until I went into the sanctuary of God; [then] understood I their end.
18 你实在把他们安在滑地， 使他们掉在沉沦之中。
Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.
19 他们转眼之间成了何等的荒凉！ 他们被惊恐灭尽了。
How are they [brought] into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
20 人睡醒了，怎样看梦； 主啊，你醒了也必照样轻看他们的影像。
As a dream when [one] awaketh; [so], O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.
21 因而，我心里发酸， 肺腑被刺。
Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
22 我这样愚昧无知， 在你面前如畜类一般。
So foolish [was] I, and ignorant: I was [as] a beast before thee.
23 然而，我常与你同在； 你搀着我的右手。
Nevertheless I [am] continually with thee: thou hast holden [me] by my right hand.
24 你要以你的训言引导我， 以后必接我到荣耀里。
Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me [to] glory.
25 除你以外，在天上我有谁呢？ 除你以外，在地上我也没有所爱慕的。
Whom have I in heaven [but thee]? and [there is] none upon earth [that] I desire beside thee.
26 我的肉体和我的心肠衰残； 但 神是我心里的力量， 又是我的福分，直到永远。
My flesh and my heart faileth: [but] God [is] the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
27 远离你的，必要死亡； 凡离弃你行邪淫的，你都灭绝了。
For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
28 但我亲近 神是与我有益； 我以主耶和华为我的避难所， 好叫我述说你一切的作为。
But [it is] good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
