Psalms 73
1 A psalm of Asaph. Truly God is good to Israel, to those whose minds are pure.
A psalm of Asaph surely [is] good to Israel God to [people] pure of heart.
2 But I was stumbling, my feet were starting to slide,
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 because I was jealous of self-important people—I saw how well the wicked were doing.
For I was jealous of the boasters [the] well-being of wicked [people] I saw.
4 They don't ever seem to get sick; they are strong and healthy.
That there not [are] pangs to death their and [is] fat body their.
5 They don't have problems like other people; they don't get hit by disasters like everybody else.
[are] in [the] trouble of Humankind not they and with humankind not they are stricken.
6 They wear their pride like a necklace; they clothe themselves with violence.
Therefore [it is] a necklace [for] them pride it covers a garment of violence them.
7 Their eyes bulge out because they're so fat; their minds are full of selfish vanity.
It comes out from fat eye their they pass over [the] imaginations of heart.
8 They mock people, and speak maliciously; they arrogantly threaten cruelty.
They mock - and they may speak with evil oppression from a high place they speak.
9 They talk irreverently against heaven above, and defame people here on earth.
They set in the heavens mouth their and tongue their it walks on the earth.
10 As a result people turn to them and drink in everything they say.
Therefore - (it turns back *Q(K)*) people his here and waters of full they are drained by them.
11 “God won't find out,” they say. “The Most High doesn't even know what's going on!”
And they say how? does he know God and [is] there? knowledge with [the] Most High.
12 Look at these wicked people! They don't have a care in the world, and they're always making money!
Here! these [are] wicked [people] and [people] at ease of perpetuity they increase wealth.
13 It's been pointless to keep my mind pure and my hands clean.
Surely vanity I have kept pure heart my and I have washed in innocence hands my.
14 I'm cursed with suffering all day long; every morning I'm punished.
And I have been stricken all the day and rebuke my [has been] to the mornings.
15 If I'd talked like this to others, I would have betrayed your people.
If I had said I will speak like here! [the] generation of children your I dealt treacherously with.
16 So I thought about it and tried to understand, but it looked like a lot of hard work to me—
And I thought! to know this [was] trouble (it *Q(K)*) in view my.
17 until I went into God's Temple. Then I understood what happens to the wicked in the end.
Until I went into [the] sanctuari of God I considered end their.
18 For you send them on a slippery path; you throw them down to destruction.
Surely on slippery [places] you set them you make fall them to deceptions.
19 How quickly they're destroyed! They come to a terrifying end.
How! they have become a waste like a moment they come to an end they are finished from sudden terror.
20 Like waking up from a dream, Lord—when you get up you will forget all about them!
Like a dream from when awakes O Lord when waken - image their you will despise.
21 At that time my thoughts were bitter. I felt like I had been stabbed.
If it was embittered heart my and kidneys my I was pierced.
22 I was stupid and ignorant. I was like a brute beast to you.
And I [was] stupid and not I knew animals I was with you.
23 Yet I'm always with you; you hold me by the hand.
And I continually [am] with you you take hold on [the] hand of right my.
24 You tell me what to do; and ultimately you will welcome me in glory.
With counsel your you guide me and after honor you will take me.
25 Who is there in heaven for me except you? And I want nothing on earth except you.
Who? [belongs] to me in the heavens and with you not I take pleasure on the earth.
26 My body and my mind may fail, but God is the foundation of my life. He is mine 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 people who are far from God will die. You destroy all those 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 I love to stay close to God! I have chosen the Lord God to protect me. I will share all that you have done.
And I - [the] approach of God for me [is] good I have made - in [the] Lord Yahweh refuge my to recount all works your.
