诗篇 73
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
卷三：诗篇73—89
上帝的公正审判
亚萨的诗。
73 上帝实在善待以色列人，
恩待那些内心纯洁的人。
2 我却身陷险地，
几乎失脚跌倒。
3 我看见狂傲的恶人亨通就心怀不平。
4 他们一生平顺，健康强壮。
5 他们不像别人受苦，
不像世人遭难。
6 他们把骄傲作项链戴在颈上，
把暴力作外袍裹在身上。
7 他们胖得眼睛凸出，
心中充满罪恶。
8 他们讥讽嘲笑，言语恶毒，
狂妄地以暴力相威胁。
9 他们亵渎上天，诋毁大地。
10 上帝的子民也跟随他们，
听从他们的话。
11 他们说：
“上帝怎能知道？
至高者会察觉吗？”
12 看这些恶人，
他们总是生活安逸，财富日增。
13 我洁身自爱，保持清白，
实属徒然。
14 我天天遭灾，日日受苦。
15 要是我这样说，
我就是背叛了你的子民。
16 我想明白这一切，
却百思不得其解。
17 直到我进入你的圣所，
才明白他们的结局。
18 你把他们放在容易滑倒的地方，
使他们落入毁灭中。
19 他们顷刻间被毁灭，
在恐怖中彻底灭亡。
20 他们不过是人醒来后的一场梦。
主啊，你一行动，
他们必灰飞烟灭。
21 我曾感到悲伤，心如刀绞。
22 我当时愚昧无知，
在你面前如同畜类。
23 然而，我一直和你在一起，
你牵着我的手引导我。
24 你以谆谆教诲指引我，
以后必接我到荣耀中。
25 除你以外，在天上我还有谁？
除你以外，在地上我别无爱慕。
26 尽管我身心俱衰，
上帝永远是我心中的力量，
永远属于我。
27 那些远离你的人必灭亡，
你必灭绝不忠于你的人。
28 对于我，到上帝面前是何等美好。
我以主耶和华为我的避难所，
并宣扬祂的一切作为。
Psalm 73
King James Version
73 Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.
2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.
7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
13 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.
14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.
16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.
18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.
19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
20 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.
21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.
23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy works.
Psalm 73
Common English Bible
BOOK III
(Psalms 73–89)
Psalm 73
A psalm of Asaph.
73 Truly God is good to Israel,
to those who are have a pure heart.
2 But me? My feet had almost stumbled;
my steps had nearly slipped
3 because I envied the arrogant;
I observed how the wicked are well off:
4 They suffer no pain;
their bodies are fit and strong.
5 They are never in trouble;
they aren’t weighed down like other people.
6 That’s why they wear arrogance like a necklace,
why violence covers them like clothes.
7 Their eyes bulge out from eating so well;
their hearts overflow with delusions.
8 They scoff and talk so cruel;
from their privileged positions
they plan oppression.
9 Their mouths dare to speak against heaven!
Their tongues roam the earth!
10 That’s why people keep going back to them,
keep approving what they say.[a]
11 And what they say is this: “How could God possibly know!
Does the Most High know anything at all!”
12 Look at these wicked ones,
always relaxed, piling up the wealth!
13 Meanwhile, I’ve kept my heart pure for no good reason;
I’ve washed my hands to stay innocent for nothing.
14 I’m weighed down all day long.
I’m punished every morning.
15 If I said, “I will talk about all this,”
I would have been unfaithful to your children.
16 But when I tried to understand these things,
it just seemed like hard work
17 until I entered God’s sanctuary
and understood what would happen to the wicked.
18 You will definitely put them on a slippery path;
you will make them fall into ruin!
19 How quickly they are devastated,
utterly destroyed by terrors!
20 As quickly as a dream departs from someone waking up, my Lord,
when you are stirred up, you make them disappear.[b]
21 When my heart was bitter,
when I was all cut up inside,
22 I was stupid and ignorant.
I acted like nothing but an animal toward you.
23 But I was still always with you!
You held my strong hand!
24 You have guided me with your advice;
later you will receive me with glory.
25 Do I have anyone else in heaven?
There’s nothing on earth I desire except you.
26 My body and my heart fail,
but God is my heart’s rock and my share forever.
27 Look! Those far from you die;
you annihilate all those who are unfaithful to you.
28 But me? It’s good for me to be near God.
I have taken my refuge in you, my Lord God,
so I can talk all about your works!
