IKATLONG AKLAT
Ang Katarungan ng Diyos
Awit ni Asaf.
73 Kay buti ng Diyos sa taong matuwid,
sa lahat ng taong ang puso'y malinis.
2 Ngunit ang sarili'y halos bumagsak,
sa paghakbang ko'y muntik nang madulas!
3 Sa taong mayabang, ako'y naiinggit nga,
at sa biglang yaman ng mga masama.
4 Ni hindi nagdanas ng anumang hirap,
sila'y masisigla't katawa'y malakas.
5 Di tulad ng ibang naghirap nang labis,
di nila dinanas ang buhay na gipit.
6 Ang pagmamalaki ay kinukuwintas,
at ang dinaramit nila'y pandarahas.
7 Ang tibok ng puso'y pawang kasamaan,
at masasama rin ang nasa isipan;
8 mga ibang tao'y pinagtatawanan, ang yayabang nila,
ang layon sa buhay ay ang pang-aapi sa kapwa nilalang.
9 Diyos mang nasa langit ay tinutungayaw,
labis kung mag-utos sa mga nilalang;
10 kaya sumusunod pati lingkod ng Diyos,
anumang sabihi'y paniwalang lubos.
11 Ang sabi, “Ang Diyos walang nalalaman,
walang malay yaong Kataas-taasan.”
12 Ang mga masama'y ito ang kagaya,
di na kinukulang ay naghahanap pa.
13 Samantalang ako, malinis ang palad,
hindi nagkasala't lubos na nag-ingat, at aking natamo'y kabiguang lahat.
14 Diyos, pinagtiis mo ako ng hirap,
sa tuwing umaga'y parusa ang gawad.
15 Kung ang mga ito'y aking sasabihin,
sa mga lingkod mo, ako'y magtataksil;
16 kaya't sinikap kong ito'y saliksikin,
mahirap-hirap mang ito'y unawain.
17 Gayunman, sa templo'y doon ko natuklas,
na ang masasama ay mapapahamak;
18 dinala mo sila sa dakong madulas,
upang malubos na, kanilang pagbagsak;
19 walang abug-abog sila ay nawasak,
kakila-kilabot yaong naging wakas!
20 Parang panaginip nang ako'y magising,
pati anyo nila'y nalimutan na rin.
21 Nang ang aking isip hindi mapalagay,
at ang damdamin ko'y labis na nasaktan,
22 di ko maunawa, para akong tanga,
sa iyong harapa'y hayop ang kagaya.
23 Gayon pa ma'y sinasamahan mo ako,
sa aking paglakad ay inaakay mo.
24 Ang mga payo mo'y umakay sa akin,
marangal na ako'y iyong tatanggapin.
25 Sino pa sa langit, kundi ikaw lamang,
at maging sa lupa'y, aking kailangan?
26 Puso ko't kaluluwa kung nanghihina man,
ang Diyos ang lakas kong tanging kailangan.
27 Yaong hihiwalay sa iyo'y mamamatay,
at ang nagtataksil wawasaking tunay.
28 Ngunit sa sarili, tanging hangarin ko, sa piling ng Diyos manatili ako!
Sa piling ng Panginoong Yahweh, ako'y mapanatag,
ang kanyang ginawa'y aking ihahayag.
Psalm 73
New International Version
BOOK III
Psalms 73–89
Psalm 73
A psalm of Asaph.
1 Surely God is good to Israel,
to those who are pure in heart.(A)
2 But as for me, my feet had almost slipped;(B)
I had nearly lost my foothold.(C)
3 For I envied(D) the arrogant
when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.(E)
4 They have no struggles;
their bodies are healthy and strong.[a]
5 They are free(F) from common human burdens;
they are not plagued by human ills.
6 Therefore pride(G) is their necklace;(H)
they clothe themselves with violence.(I)
7 From their callous hearts(J) comes iniquity[b];
their evil imaginations have no limits.
8 They scoff, and speak with malice;(K)
with arrogance(L) they threaten oppression.(M)
9 Their mouths lay claim to heaven,
and their tongues take possession of the earth.
10 Therefore their people turn to them
and drink up waters in abundance.[c]
11 They say, “How would God know?
Does the Most High know anything?”
13 Surely in vain(P) I have kept my heart pure
and have washed my hands in innocence.(Q)
14 All day long I have been afflicted,(R)
and every morning brings new punishments.
15 If I had spoken out like that,
I would have betrayed your children.
16 When I tried to understand(S) all this,
it troubled me deeply
17 till I entered the sanctuary(T) of God;
then I understood their final destiny.(U)
18 Surely you place them on slippery ground;(V)
you cast them down to ruin.(W)
19 How suddenly(X) are they destroyed,
completely swept away(Y) by terrors!
20 They are like a dream(Z) when one awakes;(AA)
when you arise, Lord,
you will despise them as fantasies.(AB)
21 When my heart was grieved
and my spirit embittered,
22 I was senseless(AC) and ignorant;
I was a brute beast(AD) before you.
23 Yet I am always with you;
you hold me by my right hand.(AE)
24 You guide(AF) me with your counsel,(AG)
and afterward you will take me into glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you?(AH)
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.(AI)
26 My flesh and my heart(AJ) may fail,(AK)
but God is the strength(AL) of my heart
and my portion(AM) forever.
