< Psalms 73 >

1 A Psalm of Asaph. Surely God is good to Israel, [even] to such as 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 were almost gone; my steps had well nigh 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 envious at 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 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
That there not [are] pangs to death their and [is] fat body their.
5 They are not in trouble as [other] men; neither are they plagued like [other] men.
[are] in [the] trouble of Humankind not they and with humankind not they are stricken.
6 Therefore pride is as a chain about their neck; violence covereth them as a garment.
Therefore [it is] a necklace [for] them pride it covers a garment of violence them.
7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
It comes out from fat eye their they pass over [the] imaginations of heart.
8 They scoff, and in wickedness utter oppression: they speak loftily.
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 walketh through the earth.
They set in the heavens mouth their and tongue their it walks on the earth.
10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full [cup] are wrung out by them.
Therefore - (it turns back *Q(K)*) people his here and waters of full they are drained by them.
11 And they say, How doth God know? 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, being alway at ease, they increase in riches.
Here! these [are] wicked [people] and [people] at ease of perpetuity they increase wealth.
13 Surely in vain have I cleansed my heart, and washed my hands in innocency;
Surely vanity I have kept pure heart my and I have washed in innocence hands my.
14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened 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 thus; behold, I had dealt treacherously with the generation of thy children.
If I had said I will speak like here! [the] generation of children your I dealt treacherously with.
16 When I thought how I might know this, it was too painful for me;
And I thought! to know this [was] trouble (it *Q(K)*) in view my.
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God, and considered their latter end.
Until I went into [the] sanctuari of God I considered end their.
18 Surely thou settest them in slippery places: thou castest them down to destruction.
Surely on slippery [places] you set them you make fall them to deceptions.
19 How are they become a desolation in a moment! they are utterly consumed with 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 when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.
Like a dream from when awakes O Lord when waken - image their you will despise.
21 For my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins:
If it was embittered heart my and kidneys my I was pierced.
22 So brutish was I, and ignorant; I was [as] a beast before thee.
And I [was] stupid and not I knew animals I was with you.
23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden my right hand.
And I continually [am] with you you take hold on [the] hand of right my.
24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
With counsel your you guide me and after honor you will take me.
25 Whom have I in heaven [but thee]? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
Who? [belongs] to me in the heavens and with you not I take pleasure on the earth.
26 My flesh and my heart faileth: [but] God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever.
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, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
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 draw near unto God: I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all thy 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.
