תהילים 73
| מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָף אַךְ טוֹב לְיִשְׂרָאֵל אֱלֹהִים לְבָרֵי לֵבָֽב׃ | 1 |
A Psalm of Asaph. Truly God [is] good to Israel, [even] to such as are of a clean heart.
| וַאֲנִי כִּמְעַט נטוי נָטָיוּ רַגְלָי כְּאַיִן שפכה שֻׁפְּכוּ אֲשֻׁרָֽי׃ | 2 |
But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
| כִּֽי־קִנֵּאתִי בַּֽהוֹלְלִים שְׁלוֹם רְשָׁעִים אֶרְאֶֽה׃ | 3 |
For I was envious at the foolish, [when] I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
| כִּי אֵין חַרְצֻבּוֹת לְמוֹתָם וּבָרִיא אוּלָֽם׃ | 4 |
For [there are] no bands in their death: but their strength [is] firm.
| בַּעֲמַל אֱנוֹשׁ אֵינֵמוֹ וְעִם־אָדָם לֹא יְנֻגָּֽעוּ׃ | 5 |
They [are] not in trouble [as other] men; neither are they afflicted like [other] men.
| לָכֵן עֲנָקַתְמוֹ גַאֲוָה יַעֲטָף־שִׁית חָמָס לָֽמוֹ׃ | 6 |
Therefore pride encompasseth them as a chain; violence covereth them [as] a garment.
| יָצָא מֵחֵלֶב עֵינֵמוֹ עָבְרוּ מַשְׂכִּיּוֹת לֵבָֽב׃ | 7 |
Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
| יָמִיקוּ ׀ וִידַבְּרוּ בְרָע עֹשֶׁק מִמָּרוֹם יְדַבֵּֽרוּ׃ | 8 |
They are corrupt, and speak wickedly [concerning] oppression: they speak loftily.
| שַׁתּוּ בַשָּׁמַיִם פִּיהֶם וּלְשׁוֹנָם תִּֽהֲלַךְ בָּאָֽרֶץ׃ | 9 |
They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
| לָכֵן ׀ ישיב יָשׁוּב עַמּוֹ הֲלֹם וּמֵי מָלֵא יִמָּצוּ לָֽמוֹ׃ | 10 |
Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full [cup] are wrung out to them.
| וְֽאָמְרוּ אֵיכָה יָדַֽע־אֵל וְיֵשׁ דֵּעָה בְעֶלְיֽוֹן׃ | 11 |
And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the Most High?
| הִנֵּה־אֵלֶּה רְשָׁעִים וְשַׁלְוֵי עוֹלָם הִשְׂגּוּ־חָֽיִל׃ | 12 |
Behold, these [are] the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase [in] riches.
| אַךְ־רִיק זִכִּיתִי לְבָבִי וָאֶרְחַץ בְּנִקָּיוֹן כַּפָּֽי׃ | 13 |
Verily I have cleansed my heart [in] vain, and washed my hands in innocence.
| וָאֱהִי נָגוּעַ כָּל־הַיּוֹם וְתוֹכַחְתִּי לַבְּקָרִֽים׃ | 14 |
For all the day long have I been afflicted, and chastened every morning.
| אִם־אָמַרְתִּי אֲסַפְּרָה כְמוֹ הִנֵּה דוֹר בָּנֶיךָ בָגָֽדְתִּי׃ | 15 |
If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend [against] the generation of thy children.
| וָֽאֲחַשְּׁבָה לָדַעַת זֹאת עָמָל היא הוּא בְעֵינָֽי׃ | 16 |
When I thought to know this, it [was] too painful for me;
| עַד־אָבוֹא אֶל־מִקְדְּשֵׁי־אֵל אָבִינָה לְאַחֲרִיתָֽם׃ | 17 |
Until I went into the sanctuary of God; [then] I understood their end.
| אַךְ בַּחֲלָקוֹת תָּשִׁית לָמוֹ הִפַּלְתָּם לְמַשּׁוּאֽוֹת׃ | 18 |
Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou didst cast them down into destruction.
| אֵיךְ הָיוּ לְשַׁמָּה כְרָגַע סָפוּ תַמּוּ מִן־בַּלָּהֽוֹת׃ | 19 |
How are they [brought] into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
| כַּחֲלוֹם מֵהָקִיץ אֲדֹנָי בָּעִיר ׀ צַלְמָם תִּבְזֶֽה׃ | 20 |
As a dream when [one] awaketh; [so], O LORD, when thou awakest, thou wilt despise their image.
| כִּי יִתְחַמֵּץ לְבָבִי וְכִלְיוֹתַי אֶשְׁתּוֹנָֽן׃ | 21 |
Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
| וַאֲנִי־בַעַר וְלֹא אֵדָע בְּהֵמוֹת הָיִיתִי עִמָּֽךְ׃ | 22 |
So foolish [was] I, and ignorant: I was [as] a beast before thee.
| וַאֲנִי תָמִיד עִמָּךְ אָחַזְתָּ בְּיַד־יְמִינִֽי׃ | 23 |
Nevertheless I [am] continually with thee: thou hast held [me] by my right hand.
| בַּעֲצָתְךָ תַנְחֵנִי וְאַחַר כָּבוֹד תִּקָּחֵֽנִי׃ | 24 |
Thou wilt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me [to] glory.
| מִי־לִי בַשָּׁמָיִם וְעִמְּךָ לֹא־חָפַצְתִּי בָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 25 |
Whom have I in heaven [but thee]? and [there is] none upon earth [that] I desire besides thee.
| כָּלָה שְׁאֵרִי וּלְבָבִי צוּר־לְבָבִי וְחֶלְקִי אֱלֹהִים לְעוֹלָֽם׃ | 26 |
My flesh and my heart faileth: [but] God [is] the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
| כִּֽי־הִנֵּה רְחֵקֶיךָ יֹאבֵדוּ הִצְמַתָּה כָּל־זוֹנֶה מִמֶּֽךָּ׃ | 27 |
For lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go astray from thee.
| וַאֲנִי ׀ קִֽרֲבַת אֱלֹהִים לִי־טוֹב שַׁתִּי ׀ בַּאדֹנָי יְהֹוִה מַחְסִי לְסַפֵּר כָּל־מַלְאֲכוֹתֶֽיךָ׃ | 28 |
But [it is] good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
