תהילים 73
| מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָף אַךְ טוֹב לְיִשְׂרָאֵל אֱלֹהִים לְבָרֵי לֵבָֽב׃ | 1 |
BOOK THIRD: “A Psalm of Assaph.” Truly God is good to Israel, to such as are pure of heart.
| וַאֲנִי כִּמְעַט (נטוי) [נָטָיוּ] רַגְלָי כְּאַיִן (שפכה) [שֻׁפְּכוּ] אֲשֻׁרָֽי׃ | 2 |
But as for me, it lacked but little that my feet had been moved: almost nothing was needed that my steps had slipped.
| כִּֽי־קִנֵּאתִי בַּהוֹלְלִים שְׁלוֹם רְשָׁעִים אֶרְאֶֽה׃ | 3 |
For I was envious at the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
| כִּי אֵין חַרְצֻבּוֹת לְמוֹתָם וּבָרִיא אוּלָֽם׃ | 4 |
For there are no deadly fetters for them, but their strength is firm.
| בַּעֲמַל אֱנוֹשׁ אֵינֵמוֹ וְעִם־אָדָם לֹא יְנֻגָּֽעוּ׃ | 5 |
They share not in the trouble of mortals, and with men are they not afflicted.
| לָכֵן עֲנָקַתְמוֹ גַאֲוָה יַעֲטָף־שִׁית חָמָס לָֽמוֹ׃ | 6 |
Therefore is pride their neck-chain: violence envelopeth them as a garment.
| יָצָא מֵחֵלֶב עֵינֵמוֹ עָבְרוּ מַשְׂכִּיּוֹת לֵבָֽב׃ | 7 |
Their eyes start out from fatness: they have exceeded their heart's imaginings.
| יָמִיקוּ ׀ וִידַבְּרוּ בְרָע עֹשֶׁק מִמָּרוֹם יְדַבֵּֽרוּ׃ | 8 |
They scorn, and speak wickedly of oppression: loftily do they speak.
| שַׁתּוּ בַשָּׁמַיִם פִּיהֶם וּלְשׁוֹנָם תִּהֲלַךְ בָּאָֽרֶץ׃ | 9 |
They set their mouth in the heavens, and their tongue walketh busily on the earth.
| לָכֵן ׀ (ישיב) [יָשׁוּב] עַמּוֹ הֲלֹם וּמֵי מָלֵא יִמָּצוּ לָֽמוֹ׃ | 10 |
Therefore do his people turn away hither: and waters of a full cup are drained by them.
| וְֽאָמְרוּ אֵיכָה יָדַֽע־אֵל וְיֵשׁ דֵּעָה בְעֶלְיֽוֹן׃ | 11 |
And they say, How should God know? and is there knowledge in the Most High?
| הִנֵּה־אֵלֶּה רְשָׁעִים וְשַׁלְוֵי עוֹלָם הִשְׂגּוּ־חָֽיִל׃ | 12 |
Behold, these are the wicked; and yet prospering continually they increase in wealth.
| אַךְ־רִיק זִכִּיתִי לְבָבִי וָאֶרְחַץ בְּנִקָּיוֹן כַּפָּֽי׃ | 13 |
Verily in vain have I thus cleansed my heart, and have washed in innocency my hands:
| וָאֱהִי נָגוּעַ כׇּל־הַיּוֹם וְתוֹכַחְתִּי לַבְּקָרִֽים׃ | 14 |
While I was afflicted all the day, and my chastisement [came] every morning.
| אִם־אָמַרְתִּי אֲסַפְּרָה כְמוֹ הִנֵּה דוֹר בָּנֶיךָ בָגָֽדְתִּי׃ | 15 |
But if I were to say, I will speak thus: behold, I would be treacherous against the generation of thy children.
| וָאֲחַשְּׁבָה לָדַעַת זֹאת עָמָל (היא) [הוּא] בְעֵינָֽי׃ | 16 |
And when I should think to know this, it would be trouble in my eyes;
| עַד־אָבוֹא אֶל־מִקְדְּשֵׁי־אֵל אָבִינָה לְאַחֲרִיתָֽם׃ | 17 |
Until I enter into the sanctuary of God; and understand what their future will be.
| אַךְ בַּחֲלָקוֹת תָּשִׁית לָמוֹ הִפַּלְתָּם לְמַשּׁוּאֽוֹת׃ | 18 |
Surely thou placest them on slippery spots: thou lettest them fall down into destruction.
| אֵיךְ הָיוּ לְשַׁמָּה כְרָגַע סָפוּ תַמּוּ מִן־בַּלָּהֽוֹת׃ | 19 |
How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they perish, they come to their end with terrific events.
| כַּחֲלוֹם מֵהָקִיץ אֲדֹנָי בָּעִיר ׀ צַלְמָם תִּבְזֶֽה׃ | 20 |
As a dream after awaking, O Lord, reject thou in wrath their image.
| כִּי יִתְחַמֵּץ לְבָבִי וְכִלְיוֹתַי אֶשְׁתּוֹנָֽן׃ | 21 |
For it fermented in my heart, and in my reins I felt sharp thrusts;
| וַאֲנִי־בַעַר וְלֹא אֵדָע בְּהֵמוֹת הָיִיתִי עִמָּֽךְ׃ | 22 |
But I was indeed foolish, and I knew it not: I was as a [thoughtless] beast with thee.
| וַאֲנִי תָמִיד עִמָּךְ אָחַזְתָּ בְּיַד־יְמִינִֽי׃ | 23 |
Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast seized hold of me by my right hand.
| בַּעֲצָתְךָ תַנְחֵנִי וְאַחַר כָּבוֹד תִּקָּחֵֽנִי׃ | 24 |
With thy counsel wilt thou guide me, and afterward take me on to glory.
| מִי־לִי בַשָּׁמָיִם וְעִמְּךָ לֹֽא־חָפַצְתִּי בָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 25 |
Whom have I in heaven? and beside thee I desire nothing upon earth.
| כָּלָה שְׁאֵרִי וּלְבָבִי צוּר־לְבָבִי וְחֶלְקִי אֱלֹהִים לְעוֹלָֽם׃ | 26 |
Though my flesh and my heart should fall; yet the rock of my heart, and my portion will be God for ever.
| כִּֽי־הִנֵּה רְחֵקֶיךָ יֹאבֵדוּ הִצְמַתָּה כׇּל־זוֹנֶה מִמֶּֽךָּ׃ | 27 |
For, lo, those that are far from thee shall perish: thou destroyest every one that strayeth away from thee.
| וַאֲנִי ׀ קִרְבַת אֱלֹהִים לִי ־ טוֹב שַׁתִּי ׀ בַּאדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה מַחְסִי לְסַפֵּר כׇּל־מַלְאֲכוֹתֶֽיךָ׃ | 28 |
But as regardeth me, to draw near to God is good for me: I have put in the Lord Eternal my trust, that I may relate all thy works.
