תהילים 73
| מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָף אַךְ טוֹב לְיִשְׂרָאֵל אֱלֹהִים לְבָרֵי לֵבָֽב׃ | 1 |
A psalm for Asaph. How good is God to Israel, to them that are of a right heart!
| וַאֲנִי כִּמְעַט (נטוי) [נָטָיוּ] רַגְלָי כְּאַיִן (שפכה) [שֻׁפְּכוּ] אֲשֻׁרָֽי׃ | 2 |
But my feet were almost moved; my steps had well nigh slipped.
| כִּֽי־קִנֵּאתִי בַּהוֹלְלִים שְׁלוֹם רְשָׁעִים אֶרְאֶֽה׃ | 3 |
Because I had a zeal on occasion of the wicked, seeing the prosperity of sinners.
| כִּי אֵין חַרְצֻבּוֹת לְמוֹתָם וּבָרִיא אוּלָֽם׃ | 4 |
For there is no regard to their death, nor is there strength in their stripes.
| בַּעֲמַל אֱנוֹשׁ אֵינֵמוֹ וְעִם־אָדָם לֹא יְנֻגָּֽעוּ׃ | 5 |
They are not in the labour of men: neither shall they be scourged like other men.
| לָכֵן עֲנָקַתְמוֹ גַאֲוָה יַעֲטָף־שִׁית חָמָס לָֽמוֹ׃ | 6 |
Therefore pride hath held them fast: they are covered with their iniquity and their wickedness.
| יָצָא מֵחֵלֶב עֵינֵמוֹ עָבְרוּ מַשְׂכִּיּוֹת לֵבָֽב׃ | 7 |
Their iniquity hath come forth, as it were from fatness: they have passed into the affection of the heart.
| יָמִיקוּ ׀ וִידַבְּרוּ בְרָע עֹשֶׁק מִמָּרוֹם יְדַבֵּֽרוּ׃ | 8 |
They have thought and spoken wickedness: they have spoken iniquity on high.
| שַׁתּוּ בַשָּׁמַיִם פִּיהֶם וּלְשׁוֹנָם תִּהֲלַךְ בָּאָֽרֶץ׃ | 9 |
They have set their mouth against heaven: and their tongue hath passed through the earth.
| לָכֵן ׀ (ישיב) [יָשׁוּב] עַמּוֹ הֲלֹם וּמֵי מָלֵא יִמָּצוּ לָֽמוֹ׃ | 10 |
Therefore will my people return here and full days shall be found in them.
| וְֽאָמְרוּ אֵיכָה יָדַֽע־אֵל וְיֵשׁ דֵּעָה בְעֶלְיֽוֹן׃ | 11 |
And they said: How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
| הִנֵּה־אֵלֶּה רְשָׁעִים וְשַׁלְוֵי עוֹלָם הִשְׂגּוּ־חָֽיִל׃ | 12 |
Behold these are sinners; and yet abounding in the world they have obtained riches.
| אַךְ־רִיק זִכִּיתִי לְבָבִי וָאֶרְחַץ בְּנִקָּיוֹן כַּפָּֽי׃ | 13 |
And I said: Then have I in vain justified my heart, and washed my hands among the innocent.
| וָאֱהִי נָגוּעַ כׇּל־הַיּוֹם וְתוֹכַחְתִּי לַבְּקָרִֽים׃ | 14 |
And I have been scourged all the day; and my chastisement hath been in the mornings.
| אִם־אָמַרְתִּי אֲסַפְּרָה כְמוֹ הִנֵּה דוֹר בָּנֶיךָ בָגָֽדְתִּי׃ | 15 |
If I said: I will speak thus; behold I should condemn the generation of thy children.
| וָאֲחַשְּׁבָה לָדַעַת זֹאת עָמָל (היא) [הוּא] בְעֵינָֽי׃ | 16 |
I studied that I might know this thing, it is a labour in my sight:
| עַד־אָבוֹא אֶל־מִקְדְּשֵׁי־אֵל אָבִינָה לְאַחֲרִיתָֽם׃ | 17 |
Until I go into the sanctuary of God, and understand concerning their last ends.
| אַךְ בַּחֲלָקוֹת תָּשִׁית לָמוֹ הִפַּלְתָּם לְמַשּׁוּאֽוֹת׃ | 18 |
But indeed for deceits thou hast put it to them: when they were lifted up thou hast cast them down.
| אֵיךְ הָיוּ לְשַׁמָּה כְרָגַע סָפוּ תַמּוּ מִן־בַּלָּהֽוֹת׃ | 19 |
How are they brought to desolation? they have suddenly ceased to be: they have perished by reason of their iniquity.
| כַּחֲלוֹם מֵהָקִיץ אֲדֹנָי בָּעִיר ׀ צַלְמָם תִּבְזֶֽה׃ | 20 |
As the dream of them that awake, O Lord; so in thy city thou shalt bring their image to nothing.
| כִּי יִתְחַמֵּץ לְבָבִי וְכִלְיוֹתַי אֶשְׁתּוֹנָֽן׃ | 21 |
For my heart hath been inflamed, and my reins have been changed:
| וַאֲנִי־בַעַר וְלֹא אֵדָע בְּהֵמוֹת הָיִיתִי עִמָּֽךְ׃ | 22 |
And I am brought to nothing, and I knew not.
| וַאֲנִי תָמִיד עִמָּךְ אָחַזְתָּ בְּיַד־יְמִינִֽי׃ | 23 |
I am become as a beast before thee: and I am always with thee.
| בַּעֲצָתְךָ תַנְחֵנִי וְאַחַר כָּבוֹד תִּקָּחֵֽנִי׃ | 24 |
Thou hast held me by my right hand; and by thy will thou hast conducted me, and with thy glory thou hast received me.
| מִי־לִי בַשָּׁמָיִם וְעִמְּךָ לֹֽא־חָפַצְתִּי בָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 25 |
For what have I in heaven? and besides thee what do I desire upon earth?
| כָּלָה שְׁאֵרִי וּלְבָבִי צוּר־לְבָבִי וְחֶלְקִי אֱלֹהִים לְעוֹלָֽם׃ | 26 |
For thee my flesh and my heart hath fainted away: thou art the God of my heart, and the God that is my portion for ever.
| כִּֽי־הִנֵּה רְחֵקֶיךָ יֹאבֵדוּ הִצְמַתָּה כׇּל־זוֹנֶה מִמֶּֽךָּ׃ | 27 |
For behold they that go far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that are disloyal to thee.
| וַאֲנִי ׀ קִרְבַת אֱלֹהִים לִי ־ טוֹב שַׁתִּי ׀ בַּאדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה מַחְסִי לְסַפֵּר כׇּל־מַלְאֲכוֹתֶֽיךָ׃ | 28 |
But it is good for me to adhere to my God, to put my hope in the Lord God: That I may declare all thy praises, in the gates of the daughter of Sion.
