< Psalms 73 >

1 God truly is good to [us] Israeli people, to those who totally want to do all that God desires.

מזמור לאסף אך טוב לישראל אלהים-- לברי לבב

2 As for me, I almost [stopped trusting in God]; [it was as though] my feet slipped and I stumbled [MET],

ואני--כמעט נטוי (נטיו) רגלי כאין שפכה (שפכו) אשרי

3 because I envied those who proudly [said that they did not need God], and I saw that they prospered [even though] they were wicked.

כי-קנאתי בהוללים שלום רשעים אראה

4 Those people do not have any pains; they are [always] strong and healthy.

כי אין חרצבות למותם ובריא אולם

5 They do not have the troubles/difficulties that other people have; they do not have problems like others do.

בעמל אנוש אינמו ועם-אדם לא ינגעו

6 So they are proud, and their being proud is [like] a necklace [that they show to others], and they show off their violent actions like people show off their beautiful robes.

לכן ענקתמו גאוה יעטף-שית חמס למו

7 From their inner beings they (pour out/do) evil deeds, and they are always thinking about more evil things to do.

יצא מחלב עינמו עברו משכיות לבב

8 They scoff at [other people], and they talk about doing evil things to them; they are proud while they plan to oppress others.

ימיקו וידברו ברע עשק ממרום ידברו

9 They say evil things about [God who is in] heaven [MTY], and they talk boastfully/proudly about things [that they have done] here on the earth.

שתו בשמים פיהם ולשונם תהלך בארץ

10 The result is that people listen to what they say and praise them and do not think that they have done anything that is wrong.

לכן ישיב (ישוב) עמו הלם ומי מלא ימצו למו

11 Wicked people say [to themselves], “God will certainly not [RHQ] know [what we have done]; [people say that] he is greater than any other god, but he does not know [everything].”

ואמרו איכה ידע-אל ויש דעה בעליון

12 That is what wicked people are like; they never worry about anything, and they are always becoming richer.

הנה-אלה רשעים ושלוי עולם השגו-חיל

13 [So, God], I think it is useless that I have [RHQ] always done what you want me to, and that I have not sinned.

אך-ריק זכיתי לבבי וארחץ בנקיון כפי

14 All day long I have problems, and every morning you punish me.

ואהי נגוע כל-היום ותוכחתי לבקרים

15 If I had said the things that the wicked people say, I would have been sinning against your people.

אם-אמרתי אספרה כמו הנה דור בניך בגדתי

16 And when I tried to think about all this, it was very difficult for me [to understand it].

ואחשבה לדעת זאת עמל היא (הוא) בעיני

17 But when I went to your temple, [you spoke to me], and I understood what will happen to the wicked people [after they die].

עד-אבוא אל-מקדשי-אל אבינה לאחריתם

18 [Now I know that] you will surely put them in slippery places, and they will fall down and die.

אך בחלקות תשית למו הפלתם למשואות

19 They will be destroyed instantly; they will die in terrible ways.

איך היו לשמה כרגע ספו תמו מן-בלהות

20 They [will disappear as quickly] as a dream disappears when a person awakes in the morning; Lord, when you arise, you will (cause them to disappear/forget all about them).

כחלום מהקיץ-- אדני בעיר צלמם תבזה

21 When I felt sad/bitter, and brokenhearted,

כי יתחמץ לבבי וכליותי אשתונן

22 I was stupid and ignorant, and I behaved like an animal toward you.

ואני-בער ולא אדע בהמות הייתי עמך

23 But I am always close to you, and you hold my hand.

ואני תמיד עמך אחזת ביד-ימיני

24 You guide me by teaching me, and (at the end [of my life]/when I die), you will receive me and honor me.

בעצתך תנחני ואחר כבוד תקחני

25 You are in heaven and I belong to you [RHQ], and there is nothing on this earth that I desire more than that.

מי-לי בשמים ועמך לא-חפצתי בארץ

26 My body and my mind may become very weak, but God, you continue to enable me to be strong; I belong to you forever.
