诗篇 73
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
詩篇卷三
神必善待內心清潔的人
亞薩的詩。
73 神實在善待以色列,
善待那些內心清潔的人。(本節在《馬索拉文本》包括細字標題)
2 至於我,我的腳幾乎滑跌,
我(“我”原文作“我的腳步”)險些跌倒。
3 我看見惡人興隆,
我就嫉妒狂傲的人。
4 他們沒有痛苦,
他們的身體又健康又肥壯(本節原文作“他們到死都沒有痛苦,他們的身體肥壯”)。
5 他們沒有一般人所受的苦難,
也不像普通人一樣遭遇災害。
6 所以,驕傲像鍊子戴在他們的頸項上,
強暴好像衣裳穿在他們的身上。
7 他們的罪孽是出於麻木的心(按照《馬索拉文本》,“他們的罪孽是出於麻木的心”應作“他們的眼睛因體胖而凸出”;現參照《七十士譯本》翻譯),
他們心裡的惡念氾濫。
8 他們譏笑人,懷著惡意說欺壓人的話,他們說話自高。
9 他們用口褻瀆上天,
他們用舌頭毀謗全地。
10 因此他的人民歸回那裡去,
並且喝光了大量的水。
11 他們說:“ 神怎會曉得?
至高者有知識嗎?”
12 看這些惡人,
他們常享安逸,財富卻增加。
13 我謹守我心純潔實在徒然;
我洗手表明清白也是枉然。
14 因為我終日受傷害,
每天早晨受懲罰。
15 如果我心裡說:“我要說這樣的話”,
我就是對你這一代的眾兒女不忠了。
16 我思想要明白這事,
我就看為煩惱;
17 直到我進了 神的聖所,
才明白他們的結局。
18 你實在把他們安放在滑地,
使他們倒下、滅亡。
19 他們忽然間成了多麼荒涼,
被突然的驚恐完全消滅。
20 人睡醒了怎樣看夢,
主啊!你睡醒了,也要照樣輕看他們(“他們”原文作“他們的影像”)。
21 我心中酸苦,
我肺腑刺痛的時候,
22 我是愚昧無知的;
我在你面前就像畜類一般。
23 但是,我仍常與你同在;
你緊握著我的右手。
24 你要以你的訓言引領我,
以後還要接我到榮耀裡去。
25 除你以外,在天上,我還有誰呢?
除你以外,在地上,我也無所愛慕。
26 我的肉身和我的內心雖然漸漸衰弱,
神卻永遠是我心裡的磐石,是我的業分。
27 看哪!遠離你的,必定滅亡;
凡是對你不貞的,你都要滅絕。
28 對我來說,親近 神是美好的,
我以主耶和華為我的避難所;
我要述說你的一切作為。
Psalm 73
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
BOOK III
(Psalms 73–89)
God’s Ways Vindicated
A psalm of Asaph.(A)
73 God is indeed good to Israel,
to the pure in heart.(B)
2 But as for me, my feet almost slipped;
my steps nearly went astray.(C)
3 For I envied the arrogant;
I saw the prosperity of the wicked.(D)
4 They have an easy time until they die,[a]
and their bodies are well fed.[b](E)
5 They are not in trouble like others;
they are not afflicted like most people.(F)
6 Therefore, pride is their necklace,
and violence covers them like a garment.(G)
7 Their eyes bulge out from fatness;
the imaginations of their hearts run wild.(H)
8 They mock, and they speak maliciously;
they arrogantly threaten oppression.(I)
9 They set their mouths against heaven,
and their tongues strut across the earth.(J)
10 Therefore his people turn to them[c]
and drink in their overflowing words.[d](K)
11 The wicked say, ‘How can God know?
Does the Most High know everything? ’(L)
12 Look at them – the wicked!
They are always at ease,
and they increase their wealth.(M)
13 Did I purify my heart
and wash my hands in innocence for nothing?(N)
14 For I am afflicted all day long
and punished every morning.(O)
15 If I had decided to say these things aloud,
I would have betrayed your people.[e](P)
16 When I tried to understand all this,
it seemed hopeless[f](Q)
17 until I entered God’s sanctuary.
Then I understood their destiny.(R)
18 Indeed, you put them in slippery places;
you make them fall into ruin.(S)
19 How suddenly they become a desolation!
They come to an end, swept away by terrors.(T)
20 Like one waking from a dream,
Lord, when arising, you will despise their image.(U)
21 When I became embittered
and my innermost being[g] was wounded,(V)
22 I was stupid and didn’t understand;
I was an unthinking animal towards you.(W)
23 Yet I am always with you;
you hold my right hand.(X)
24 You guide me with your counsel,
and afterwards you will take me up in glory.[h](Y)
25 Who do I have in heaven but you?
And I desire nothing on earth but you.(Z)
26 My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength[i] of my heart,
my portion for ever.(AA)
27 Those far from you will certainly perish;
you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.(AB)
28 But as for me, God’s presence is my good.
I have made the Lord God my refuge,
so I can tell about all you do.(AC)
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.
