Psalms 73
1 A Psalm by Asaph. Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.
亚萨的诗。 神实在恩待以色列那些清心的人！
2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone. My steps had nearly slipped.
至于我，我的脚几乎失闪； 我的脚险些滑跌。
3 For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
我见恶人和狂傲人享平安就心怀不平。
4 For there are no struggles in their death, but their strength is firm.
他们死的时候没有疼痛； 他们的力气却也壮实。
5 They are free from burdens of men, neither are they plagued like other men.
他们不像别人受苦， 也不像别人遭灾。
6 Therefore pride is like a chain around their neck. Violence covers them like a garment.
所以，骄傲如链子戴在他们的项上； 强暴像衣裳遮住他们的身体。
7 Their eyes bulge with fat. Their minds pass the limits of conceit.
他们的眼睛因体胖而凸出； 他们所得的，过于心里所想的。
8 They scoff and speak with malice. In arrogance, they threaten oppression.
他们讥笑人，凭恶意说欺压人的话； 他们说话自高。
9 They have set their mouth in the heavens. Their tongue walks through the earth.
他们的口亵渎上天； 他们的舌毁谤全地。
10 Therefore their people return to them, and they drink up waters of abundance.
所以 神的民归到这里， 喝尽了满杯的苦水。
11 They say, “How does God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?”
他们说： 神怎能晓得？ 至高者岂有知识呢？
12 Behold, these are the wicked. Being always at ease, they increase in riches.
看哪，这就是恶人； 他们既是常享安逸，财宝便加增。
13 Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence,
我实在徒然洁净了我的心， 徒然洗手表明无辜。
14 For all day long I have been plagued, and punished every morning.
因为，我终日遭灾难； 每早晨受惩治。
15 If I had said, “I will speak thus”, behold, I would have betrayed the generation of your children.
我若说，我要这样讲， 这就是以奸诈待你的众子。
16 When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me—
我思索怎能明白这事， 眼看实系为难，
17 until I entered God’s sanctuary, and considered their latter end.
等我进了 神的圣所， 思想他们的结局。
18 Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction.
你实在把他们安在滑地， 使他们掉在沉沦之中。
19 How they are suddenly destroyed! They are completely swept away with terrors.
他们转眼之间成了何等的荒凉！ 他们被惊恐灭尽了。
20 As a dream when one wakes up, so, Lord, when you awake, you will despise their fantasies.
人睡醒了，怎样看梦； 主啊，你醒了也必照样轻看他们的影像。
21 For my soul was grieved. I was embittered in my heart.
因而，我心里发酸， 肺腑被刺。
22 I was so senseless and ignorant. I was a brute beast before you.
我这样愚昧无知， 在你面前如畜类一般。
23 Nevertheless, I am continually with you. You have held my right hand.
然而，我常与你同在； 你搀着我的右手。
24 You will guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
你要以你的训言引导我， 以后必接我到荣耀里。
25 Whom do I have in heaven? There is no one on earth whom I desire besides you.
除你以外，在天上我有谁呢？ 除你以外，在地上我也没有所爱慕的。
26 My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
我的肉体和我的心肠衰残； 但 神是我心里的力量， 又是我的福分，直到永远。
27 For, behold, those who are far from you shall perish. You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to you.
远离你的，必要死亡； 凡离弃你行邪淫的，你都灭绝了。
28 But it is good for me to come close to God. I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.
但我亲近 神是与我有益； 我以主耶和华为我的避难所， 好叫我述说你一切的作为。
