< Psalms 73 >

1 A Psalm of Asaph. Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.
A psalm of Asaph surely [is] good to Israel God to [people] pure of heart.
2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; my steps had nearly slipped.
And I like a little (they had turned aside *Q(K)*) feet my like nothing (they had been poured out *Q(K)*) steps my.
3 For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
For I was jealous of the boasters [the] well-being of wicked [people] I saw.
4 They have no struggle in their death; their bodies are well-fed.
That there not [are] pangs to death their and [is] fat body their.
5 They are free of the burdens others carry; they are not afflicted like other men.
[are] in [the] trouble of Humankind not they and with humankind not they are stricken.
6 Therefore pride is their necklace; a garment of violence covers them.
Therefore [it is] a necklace [for] them pride it covers a garment of violence them.
7 From their prosperity proceeds iniquity; the imaginations of their hearts run wild.
It comes out from fat eye their they pass over [the] imaginations of heart.
8 They mock and speak with malice; with arrogance they threaten oppression.
They mock - and they may speak with evil oppression from a high place they speak.
9 They set their mouths against the heavens, and their tongues strut across the earth.
They set in the heavens mouth their and tongue their it walks on the earth.
10 So their people return to this place and drink up waters in abundance.
Therefore - (it turns back *Q(K)*) people his here and waters of full they are drained by them.
11 The wicked say, “How can God know? Does the Most High have knowledge?”
And they say how? does he know God and [is] there? knowledge with [the] Most High.
12 Behold, these are the wicked— always carefree as they increase their wealth.
Here! these [are] wicked [people] and [people] at ease of perpetuity they increase wealth.
13 Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure; in innocence I have washed my hands.
Surely vanity I have kept pure heart my and I have washed in innocence hands my.
14 For I am afflicted all day long and punished every morning.
And I have been stricken all the day and rebuke my [has been] to the mornings.
15 If I had said, “I will speak this way,” then I would have betrayed Your children.
If I had said I will speak like here! [the] generation of children your I dealt treacherously with.
16 When I tried to understand all this, it was troublesome in my sight
And I thought! to know this [was] trouble (it *Q(K)*) in view my.
17 until I entered God’s sanctuary; then I discerned their end.
Until I went into [the] sanctuari of God I considered end their.
18 Surely You set them on slick ground; You cast them down into ruin.
Surely on slippery [places] you set them you make fall them to deceptions.
19 How suddenly they are laid waste, completely swept away by terrors!
How! they have become a waste like a moment they come to an end they are finished from sudden terror.
20 Like one waking from a dream, so You, O Lord, awaken and despise their form.
Like a dream from when awakes O Lord when waken - image their you will despise.
21 When my heart was grieved and I was pierced within,
If it was embittered heart my and kidneys my I was pierced.
22 I was senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before You.
And I [was] stupid and not I knew animals I was with you.
23 Yet I am always with You; You hold my right hand.
And I continually [am] with you you take hold on [the] hand of right my.
24 You guide me with Your counsel, and later receive me in glory.
With counsel your you guide me and after honor you will take me.
25 Whom have I in heaven but You? And on earth I desire no one besides You.
Who? [belongs] to me in the heavens and with you not I take pleasure on the earth.
26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
It had come to an end flesh my and heart my [is] [the] rock of heart my and portion my God for ever.
27 Those far from You will surely perish; You destroy all who are unfaithful to You.
For there! [people] far from you they will perish you destroy every [one who] acts as a prostitute from you.
28 But as for me, it is good to draw near to God. I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may proclaim all Your works.
And I - [the] approach of God for me [is] good I have made - in [the] Lord Yahweh refuge my to recount all works your.
