诗篇 73
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
诗篇卷三
神必善待内心清洁的人
亚萨的诗。
73 神实在善待以色列，
善待那些内心清洁的人。（本节在《马索拉文本》包括细字标题）
2 至于我，我的脚几乎滑跌，
我（“我”原文作“我的脚步”）险些跌倒。
3 我看见恶人兴隆，
我就嫉妒狂傲的人。
4 他们没有痛苦，
他们的身体又健康又肥壮（本节原文作“他们到死都没有痛苦，他们的身体肥壮”）。
5 他们没有一般人所受的苦难，
也不像普通人一样遭遇灾害。
6 所以，骄傲像链子戴在他们的颈项上，
强暴好象衣裳穿在他们的身上。
7 他们的罪孽是出于麻木的心（按照《马索拉文本》，“他们的罪孽是出于麻木的心”应作“他们的眼睛因体胖而凸出”；现参照《七十士译本》翻译），
他们心里的恶念泛滥。
8 他们讥笑人，怀着恶意说欺压人的话，他们说话自高。
9 他们用口亵渎上天，
他们用舌头毁谤全地。
10 因此他的人民归回那里去，
并且喝光了大量的水。
11 他们说：“ 神怎会晓得？
至高者有知识吗？”
12 看这些恶人，
他们常享安逸，财富却增加。
13 我谨守我心纯洁实在徒然；
我洗手表明清白也是枉然。
14 因为我终日受伤害，
每天早晨受惩罚。
15 如果我心里说：“我要说这样的话”，
我就是对你这一代的众儿女不忠了。
16 我思想要明白这事，
我就看为烦恼；
17 直到我进了 神的圣所，
才明白他们的结局。
18 你实在把他们安放在滑地，
使他们倒下、灭亡。
19 他们忽然间成了多么荒凉，
被突然的惊恐完全消灭。
20 人睡醒了怎样看梦，
主啊！你睡醒了，也要照样轻看他们（“他们”原文作“他们的影像”）。
21 我心中酸苦，
我肺腑刺痛的时候，
22 我是愚昧无知的；
我在你面前就像畜类一般。
23 但是，我仍常与你同在；
你紧握着我的右手。
24 你要以你的训言引领我，
以后还要接我到荣耀里去。
25 除你以外，在天上，我还有谁呢？
除你以外，在地上，我也无所爱慕。
26 我的肉身和我的内心虽然渐渐衰弱，
神却永远是我心里的盘石，是我的业分。
27 看哪！远离你的，必定灭亡；
凡是对你不贞的，你都要灭绝。
28 对我来说，亲近 神是美好的，
我以主耶和华为我的避难所；
我要述说你的一切作为。
Psalm 73

Book 3: Psalms 73–89
Should the Wicked Be Rich?
A psalm of Asaph [C a Levitical musician, a descendant of Gershon, at the time of David; 1 Chr. 6:39; 15:17; 2 Chr. 5:12].
73 ·God is truly [Surely God is] good to ·Israel [or those with integrity/virtue],
to those who have pure hearts.
2 But ·I had almost stopped believing [L as for me, my feet almost stumbled];
·I had almost lost my faith [my steps almost slipped]
3 because I was ·jealous [envious] of ·proud people [braggers; boasters].
I saw wicked people ·doing well [prospering].
4 They are not ·suffering [struggling; in pain];
·they [their bodies] are ·healthy [perfect] and strong.
5 They don’t have ·troubles [toils] like the rest of us;
they ·don’t have problems [are not plagued] like other people [Gen. 3:17–19].
6 They wear pride like a necklace
and ·put on violence as their clothing [L adorn themselves with garments of violence].
7 ·They are looking for profits [L Their eyes bulge with fat]
and ·do not control their selfish desires [cunning overflows from their hearts/minds].
8 They ·make fun of others [scoff] and speak ·evil [harm];
·proudly [from high] they speak of ·hurting [oppressing; exploiting] others.
9 They ·brag to the sky [L set their mouth against heaven].
·They say that they own [L Their tongue wanders] the earth.
10 So their people turn to them
and ·give them whatever they want [L they drink up water in abundance].
11 They say, “How can God know?
What does God Most High know?”
12 These people are wicked,
always ·at ease [carefree], and getting richer.
13 ·So why have I kept my heart pure [L In vain, I kept my heart pure…]?
·Why have I kept my hands from doing wrong [L …and washed my hands in innocence; Matt. 27:24]?
14 I ·have suffered [am plagued] all day long;
I have been ·punished [corrected] every morning.
15 God, if I had ·decided to talk like this [L said, “I will recount this,”],
I would have ·let your people down [L betrayed the generation/race of your children].
16 I ·tried [thought how] to understand all this,
but it was too ·hard [wearisome] ·for me to see [L in my eyes]
17 until I went to the ·Temple [sanctuary; Holy Place] of God.
Then I understood ·what will happen to them [L their fate/end].
18 You have put them in ·danger [L slippery places];
you cause them to ·be destroyed [L fall into disaster].
19 They are destroyed in a moment;
they are swept away by terrors.
20 It will be like waking from a dream.
Lord, when you ·rise up [awake; arouse yourself], ·they will disappear [L you despise their shadows].
21 When my heart was ·sad [bitter]
and ·I was angry [L my innards felt stabbed],
22 I was senseless and stupid.
I acted like an ·animal [brute beast] toward you.
23 But I am always with you [C in covenant relationship];
you have held my ·hand [L right hand; C guiding him].
24 You guide me with your advice,
and later you will receive me in ·honor [glory; C perhaps in the afterlife].
25 ·I have no one [L Whom do I have…?] in heaven but you;
I ·want [desire] nothing on earth besides you.
26 My body and my ·mind [heart] may become weak,
but God is ·my strength [L the rock of my heart].
He is ·mine [L my portion] forever.
27 Those who are far from ·God [L you] will ·die [perish];
you ·destroy [bring to an end] those who ·are unfaithful [prostitute themselves spiritually].
28 But I am close to God, and that is good.
The Lord God ·is [I have made] my ·protection [refuge].
I will ·tell [recount] all that you have done.
