תהילים 73
| מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָף אַךְ טוֹב לְיִשְׂרָאֵל אֱלֹהִים לְבָרֵי לֵבָֽב׃ | 1 |
A Psalm for Asaph. How good is God to Israel, to the upright in heart!
| וַאֲנִי כִּמְעַט (נטוי) [נָטָיוּ] רַגְלָי כְּאַיִן (שפכה) [שֻׁפְּכוּ] אֲשֻׁרָֽי׃ | 2 |
But my feet were almost overthrown; my goings very nearly slipped.
| כִּֽי־קִנֵּאתִי בַּהוֹלְלִים שְׁלוֹם רְשָׁעִים אֶרְאֶֽה׃ | 3 |
For I was jealous of the transgressors, beholding the tranquillity of sinners.
| כִּי אֵין חַרְצֻבּוֹת לְמוֹתָם וּבָרִיא אוּלָֽם׃ | 4 |
For there is no sign of reluctance in their death: and [they have] firmness under their affliction.
| בַּעֲמַל אֱנוֹשׁ אֵינֵמוֹ וְעִם־אָדָם לֹא יְנֻגָּֽעוּ׃ | 5 |
They are not in the troubles of [other] men; and they shall not be scourged with [other] men.
| לָכֵן עֲנָקַתְמוֹ גַאֲוָה יַעֲטָף־שִׁית חָמָס לָֽמוֹ׃ | 6 |
Therefore pride has possessed them; they have clothed themselves with their injustice and ungodliness.
| יָצָא מֵחֵלֶב עֵינֵמוֹ עָבְרוּ מַשְׂכִּיּוֹת לֵבָֽב׃ | 7 |
Their injustice shall go forth as out of fatness: they have fulfilled their intention.
| יָמִיקוּ ׀ וִידַבְּרוּ בְרָע עֹשֶׁק מִמָּרוֹם יְדַבֵּֽרוּ׃ | 8 |
They have taken counsel and spoken in wickedness: they have uttered unrighteousness loftily.
| שַׁתּוּ בַשָּׁמַיִם פִּיהֶם וּלְשׁוֹנָם תִּהֲלַךְ בָּאָֽרֶץ׃ | 9 |
They have set their mouth against heaven, and their tongue has gone through upon the earth.
| לָכֵן ׀ (ישיב) [יָשׁוּב] עַמּוֹ הֲלֹם וּמֵי מָלֵא יִמָּצוּ לָֽמוֹ׃ | 10 |
Therefore shall my people return hither: and full days shall be found with them.
| וְֽאָמְרוּ אֵיכָה יָדַֽע־אֵל וְיֵשׁ דֵּעָה בְעֶלְיֽוֹן׃ | 11 |
And they said, How does God know? and is there knowledge in the Most High?
| הִנֵּה־אֵלֶּה רְשָׁעִים וְשַׁלְוֵי עוֹלָם הִשְׂגּוּ־חָֽיִל׃ | 12 |
Behold, these [are] the sinners, and they that prosper always: they have possessed wealth.
| אַךְ־רִיק זִכִּיתִי לְבָבִי וָאֶרְחַץ בְּנִקָּיוֹן כַּפָּֽי׃ | 13 |
And I said, Verily in vain have I justified my heart, and washed my hands in innocency.
| וָאֱהִי נָגוּעַ כׇּל־הַיּוֹם וְתוֹכַחְתִּי לַבְּקָרִֽים׃ | 14 |
For I was plagued all the day, and my reproof [was] every morning.
| אִם־אָמַרְתִּי אֲסַפְּרָה כְמוֹ הִנֵּה דוֹר בָּנֶיךָ בָגָֽדְתִּי׃ | 15 |
If I said, I will speak thus; behold, I [should] have broken covenant with the generation of your children.
| וָאֲחַשְּׁבָה לָדַעַת זֹאת עָמָל (היא) [הוּא] בְעֵינָֽי׃ | 16 |
And I undertook to understand this, [but] it is too hard for me,
| עַד־אָבוֹא אֶל־מִקְדְּשֵׁי־אֵל אָבִינָה לְאַחֲרִיתָֽם׃ | 17 |
until I go into the sanctuary of God; [and so] understand the latter end.
| אַךְ בַּחֲלָקוֹת תָּשִׁית לָמוֹ הִפַּלְתָּם לְמַשּׁוּאֽוֹת׃ | 18 |
Surely you have appointed [judgements] to them because of their crafty dealings: you have cast them down when they were lifted up.
| אֵיךְ הָיוּ לְשַׁמָּה כְרָגַע סָפוּ תַמּוּ מִן־בַּלָּהֽוֹת׃ | 19 |
How have they become desolate! suddenly they have failed: they have perished because of their iniquity.
| כַּחֲלוֹם מֵהָקִיץ אֲדֹנָי בָּעִיר ׀ צַלְמָם תִּבְזֶֽה׃ | 20 |
As the dream of one awakening, O Lord, in your city you will despise their image.
| כִּי יִתְחַמֵּץ לְבָבִי וְכִלְיוֹתַי אֶשְׁתּוֹנָֽן׃ | 21 |
For my heart has rejoiced, and my reins have been gladdened.
| וַאֲנִי־בַעַר וְלֹא אֵדָע בְּהֵמוֹת הָיִיתִי עִמָּֽךְ׃ | 22 |
But I [was] vile and knew not: I became brutish before you.
| וַאֲנִי תָמִיד עִמָּךְ אָחַזְתָּ בְּיַד־יְמִינִֽי׃ | 23 |
Yet I am continually with you: you have holden my right hand.
| בַּעֲצָתְךָ תַנְחֵנִי וְאַחַר כָּבוֹד תִּקָּחֵֽנִי׃ | 24 |
You have guided me by your counsel, and you have taken me to yourself with glory.
| מִי־לִי בַשָּׁמָיִם וְעִמְּךָ לֹֽא־חָפַצְתִּי בָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 25 |
For what have I in heaven [but you]? and what have I desired upon the earth beside you?
| כָּלָה שְׁאֵרִי וּלְבָבִי צוּר־לְבָבִי וְחֶלְקִי אֱלֹהִים לְעוֹלָֽם׃ | 26 |
My heart and my flesh have failed: [but] God [is the strength] of my heart, and God is my portion for ever.
| כִּֽי־הִנֵּה רְחֵקֶיךָ יֹאבֵדוּ הִצְמַתָּה כׇּל־זוֹנֶה מִמֶּֽךָּ׃ | 27 |
For, behold, they that remove themselves far from you shall perish: you have destroyed every one that goes a whoring from you.
| וַאֲנִי ׀ קִרְבַת אֱלֹהִים לִי ־ טוֹב שַׁתִּי ׀ בַּאדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה מַחְסִי לְסַפֵּר כׇּל־מַלְאֲכוֹתֶֽיךָ׃ | 28 |
But it is good for me to cleave close to God, to put my trust in the Lord; that I may proclaim all your praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion.
