Psalms 73
1 A Psalm of Asaph. How good is God to Israel, to those who are upright in heart.
A psalm of Asaph surely [is] good to Israel God to [people] pure of heart.
2 But my feet were nearly moved; 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 was zealous over the iniquitous, seeing the peacefulness of sinners.
For I was jealous of the boasters [the] well-being of wicked [people] I saw.
4 For they have no respect for their death, nor do they have support in their wounds.
That there not [are] pangs to death their and [is] fat body their.
5 They are not with the hardships of men, nor will they be scourged with men.
[are] in [the] trouble of Humankind not they and with humankind not they are stricken.
6 Therefore, arrogance has held on to them. They have been covered with their iniquity and impiety.
Therefore [it is] a necklace [for] them pride it covers a garment of violence them.
7 Their iniquity has proceeded, as if from fat. They have parted from the affection of the heart.
It comes out from fat eye their they pass over [the] imaginations of heart.
8 They have thought and spoken wickedness. They have spoken iniquity in high places.
They mock - and they may speak with evil oppression from a high place they speak.
9 They have set their mouth against heaven, and their tongue has traversed the earth.
They set in the heavens mouth their and tongue their it walks on the earth.
10 Therefore, my people will be converted here, and fullness of days will be found in them.
Therefore - (it turns back *Q(K)*) people his here and waters of full they are drained by them.
11 And they said, “How would God know?” and, “Isn’t there knowledge in high places?”
And they say how? does he know God and [is] there? knowledge with [the] Most High.
12 Behold, these are sinners, and, abounding in this age, they have obtained riches.
Here! these [are] wicked [people] and [people] at ease of perpetuity they increase wealth.
13 And I said: So then, it is without purpose that I have justified my heart and washed my hands among the innocent.
Surely vanity I have kept pure heart my and I have washed in innocence hands my.
14 And I have been scourged all day long, and I have received my chastisement in the mornings.
And I have been stricken all the day and rebuke my [has been] to the mornings.
15 If I were to say that I would explain this: Behold, I would condemn this nation of your sons.
If I had said I will speak like here! [the] generation of children your I dealt treacherously with.
16 I considered, so that I might know this. It is a hardship before me,
And I thought! to know this [was] trouble (it *Q(K)*) in view my.
17 until I may enter into the Sanctuary of God, and understand it to its last part.
Until I went into [the] sanctuari of God I considered end their.
18 So, because of deceitfulness, truly, you have placed it before them. While they were being lifted up, you were casting them down.
Surely on slippery [places] you set them you make fall them to deceptions.
19 How have they been brought to desolation? They have suddenly failed. They have perished because of their iniquity.
How! they have become a waste like a moment they come to an end they are finished from sudden terror.
20 As a dream is to those who awaken, O Lord, so will you reduce their image to nothing in your city.
Like a dream from when awakes O Lord when waken - image their you will despise.
21 For my heart has been inflamed, and my temperament has been changed.
If it was embittered heart my and kidneys my I was pierced.
22 And so, I have been reduced to nothing, and I did not know it.
And I [was] stupid and not I knew animals I was with you.
23 I have become like a beast of burden to you, and I am always with you.
And I continually [am] with you you take hold on [the] hand of right my.
24 You have held my right hand. And in your will, you have conducted me, and with your glory, you have taken me up.
With counsel your you guide me and after honor you will take me.
25 For what is there for me in heaven? And what do I wish for on earth before you?
Who? [belongs] to me in the heavens and with you not I take pleasure on the earth.
26 My body has failed, and my heart: O God of my heart, and God my portion, into eternity.
It had come to an end flesh my and heart my [is] [the] rock of heart my and portion my God for ever.
27 For behold, those who put themselves far from you will perish. You have perished all those who fornicate away from you.
For there! [people] far from you they will perish you destroy every [one who] acts as a prostitute from you.
28 But it is good for me to adhere to God, to put my hope in the Lord God, so that I may announce all your prophecies, at the gates of the daughter of Zion.
And I - [the] approach of God for me [is] good I have made - in [the] Lord Yahweh refuge my to recount all works your.
