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