Psalms 73
1 A PSALM OF ASAPH. Surely God [is] good to Israel, to the clean of heart. And I—as a little thing, My feet have been turned aside,
A psalm of Asaph surely [is] good to Israel God to [people] pure of heart.
2 As nothing, my steps have slipped, For I have been envious of the boastful,
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 I see the peace of the wicked, That there are no bands at their death,
For I was jealous of the boasters [the] well-being of wicked [people] I saw.
4 And their might [is] firm.
That there not [are] pangs to death their and [is] fat body their.
5 They are not in the misery of mortals, And they are not plagued with common men.
[are] in [the] trouble of Humankind not they and with humankind not they are stricken.
6 Therefore pride has encircled them, Violence covers them as a dress.
Therefore [it is] a necklace [for] them pride it covers a garment of violence them.
7 Their eye has come out from fat. The imaginations of the heart transgressed;
It comes out from fat eye their they pass over [the] imaginations of heart.
8 They do corruptly, And they speak in the wickedness of oppression, They speak from on high.
They mock - and they may speak with evil oppression from a high place they speak.
9 They have set their mouth in the heavens, And their tongue walks in the earth.
They set in the heavens mouth their and tongue their it walks on the earth.
10 Therefore His people return here, And waters of fullness are wrung out to them.
Therefore - (it turns back *Q(K)*) people his here and waters of full they are drained by them.
11 And they have said, “How has God known? And is there knowledge in the Most High?”
And they say how? does he know God and [is] there? knowledge with [the] Most High.
12 Behold, these [are] the wicked and easy ones of the age, They have increased strength.
Here! these [are] wicked [people] and [people] at ease of perpetuity they increase wealth.
13 Only—a vain thing! I have purified my heart, And I wash my hands in innocence,
Surely vanity I have kept pure heart my and I have washed in innocence hands my.
14 And I am plagued all the day, And my reproof—every morning.
And I have been stricken all the day and rebuke my [has been] to the mornings.
15 If I have said, “I recount thus,” Behold, I have deceived a generation of Your sons.
If I had said I will speak like here! [the] generation of children your I dealt treacherously with.
16 And I think to know this, It [is] perverseness in my eyes,
And I thought! to know this [was] trouble (it *Q(K)*) in view my.
17 Until I come into the sanctuaries of God, I attend to their latter end.
Until I went into [the] sanctuari of God I considered end their.
18 Surely You set them in slippery places, You have caused them to fall to desolations.
Surely on slippery [places] you set them you make fall them to deceptions.
19 How they have become a desolation as in a moment, They have been ended—consumed from terrors.
How! they have become a waste like a moment they come to an end they are finished from sudden terror.
20 As a dream from awakening, O Lord, In awaking, You despise their image.
Like a dream from when awakes O Lord when waken - image their you will despise.
21 For my heart shows itself violent, And my reins prick themselves,
If it was embittered heart my and kidneys my I was pierced.
22 And I am brutish, and do not know. I have been a beast with You.
And I [was] stupid and not I knew animals I was with you.
23 And I [am] continually with You, You have laid hold on my right hand.
And I continually [am] with you you take hold on [the] hand of right my.
24 You lead me with Your counsel, And after, receive me [to] glory.
With counsel your you guide me and after honor you will take me.
25 Whom do I have in the heavens? And none have I desired in earth [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 have been consumed, God [is] the rock of my heart and my portion for all time.
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 far from You perish, You have cut off everyone, Who is going whoring from You.
For there! [people] far from you they will perish you destroy every [one who] acts as a prostitute from you.
28 And [the] nearness of God to me [is] good, I have placed my refuge in Lord YHWH, To recount 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.
