Psalms 73
1 A Psalm of Asaph. Truly God is good to Israel, to such as are of a pure heart.
A psalm of Asaph surely [is] good to Israel God to [people] pure of heart.
2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone, my steps had well nigh slipped;
And I like a little (they had turned aside *QK) feet my like nothing (they had been poured out *QK) steps my.
3 For I was envious at the arrogant, seeing the prosperity of the wicked.
For I was jealous of the boasters [the] well-being of wicked [people] I saw.
4 For they have no pangs in their death, and their body is well nourished;
That there not [are] pangs to death their and [is] fat body their.
5 They have not the hardships of mankind, neither are they plagued like [other] men:
[are] in [the] trouble of Humankind not they and with humankind not they are stricken.
6 Therefore pride encompasseth them as a neck-chain, violence covereth them [as] a garment;
Therefore [it is] a necklace [for] them pride it covers a garment of violence them.
7 Their eyes stand out from fatness, they exceed the imaginations of their heart:
It comes out from fat eye their they pass over [the] imaginations of heart.
8 They mock and speak wickedly of oppression, they speak loftily:
They mock - and they may speak with evil oppression from a high place they speak.
9 They set their mouth in the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
They set in the heavens mouth their and tongue their it walks on the earth.
10 Therefore his people turn hither, and waters in fulness are wrung out to them.
Therefore - (it turns back *QK) people his here and waters of full they are drained by them.
11 And they say, How can God know, and is there knowledge in the Most High?
And they say how? does he know God and [is] there? knowledge with [the] Most High.
12 Behold, these are the wicked, and they prosper in the world: they heap up riches.
Here! these [are] wicked [people] and [people] at ease of perpetuity they increase wealth.
13 Truly have I purified my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency:
Surely vanity I have kept pure heart my and I have washed in innocence hands my.
14 For all the day have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
And I have been stricken all the day and rebuke my [has been] to the mornings.
15 If I said, I will speak thus, behold, I should be faithless to the generation of thy children.
If I had said I will speak like here! [the] generation of children your I dealt treacherously with.
16 When I thought to be able to know this, it was a grievous task in mine eyes;
And I thought! to know this [was] trouble (it *Qk) in eyes my.
17 Until I went into the sanctuaries of God; [then] understood I their end.
Until I went into [the] sanctuari of God I considered end their.
18 Truly thou settest them in slippery places, thou castest them down in ruins.
Surely on slippery [places] you set them you make fall them to deceptions.
19 How are they suddenly made desolate! they pass away, consumed with terrors.
How! they have become a waste like a moment they come to an end they are finished from sudden terror.
20 As a dream, when one awaketh, wilt thou, Lord, on arising despise their image.
Like a dream from when awakes O Lord when waken - image their you will despise.
21 When my heart was in a ferment, and I was pricked in my reins,
If it was embittered heart my and kidneys my I was pierced.
22 Then I was brutish and knew nothing; I was [as] a beast with thee.
And I [was] stupid and not I knew animals I was with you.
23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden my right hand;
And I continually [am] with you you take hold on [the] hand of right my.
24 Thou wilt guide me by thy counsel, and after the glory, thou wilt receive me.
With counsel your you guide me and after honor you will take me.
25 Whom have I in the heavens? and there is none upon earth I desire beside thee.
Who? [belongs] to me in the heavens and with you not I take pleasure on the earth.
26 My flesh and my heart faileth: God is the rock of my heart and my portion for ever.
It had come to an end flesh my and heart my [is] [the] rock of heart my and portion my God for ever.
27 For behold, they that are far from thee shall perish; thou destroyest every one that goeth a whoring from thee.
For there! [people] far from you they will perish you destroy every [one who] acts as a prostitute from you.
28 But as for me, it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord Jehovah, that I may declare all thy works.
And I - [the] approach of God for me [is] good I have made - in [the] Lord Yahweh refuge my to recount all works your.
