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
Tree of Life Version
God Is the Strength of My Heart
Psalm 73
1 A psalm of Asaph.
Surely God is good to Israel,
to the pure in heart.
2 But as for me, my feet almost slipped.
My steps nearly slid out from under me.
3 For I envied the arrogant,
when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 For there are no pains at their death,
their body is healthy.
5 They have none of humanity’s trouble,
nor are they plagued like others.
6 Therefore, they put on pride as a necklace,
and violence wraps around them like a garment.
7 Their eyes bulge out from fatness.
The imaginations of their hearts run wild.
8 They scoff and wickedly plan evil.
From on high they threaten.
9 They set their mouth against heaven.
Their tongue struts through the earth.
10 Therefore His people return here,
while they drink their fill.
11 So they say: “How does God know?
And does Elyon have knowledge?”
12 Behold, such are the wicked—
always at ease and amassing wealth.
13 Surely in vain have I kept my heart pure,
and washed my hands in innocence.
14 For all day I have been stricken,
my chastisement comes every morning.
15 If I had said: “I will speak thus,”
surely I would have betrayed a generation of Your children.
16 But when I tried to make sense of this,
it was troubling in my eyes—
17 until I entered the Sanctuary of God,
and perceived their end.
18 Surely You put them in slippery places.
You hurled them down to destruction.
19 How suddenly they became a ruin—
terminated, consumed by terrors.
20 Like a dream when one awakes,
thus when You arise, my Lord,
You will despise their form.
21 When my heart was embittered
and I was pierced in my heart,
22 I was brutish and ignorant.
I was like a beast before You.
23 Yet I am continually with You.
You hold my right hand.
24 You guide me with Your counsel,
and afterward You will take me into glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but You?
On earth there is none I desire besides You.
26 My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.
27 For behold, those far from You will perish.
You put an end to all who like a harlot are unfaithful to You.
28 But for me, it is good to be near God.
I have made my Lord Adonai my refuge.
So I will tell of all Your works.
Psalm 73
New King James Version
BOOK THREE
Psalms 73–89
The Tragedy of the Wicked, and the Blessedness of Trust in God
A Psalm of (A)Asaph.
73 Truly God is good to Israel,
To such as are pure in heart.
2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled;
My steps had nearly (B)slipped.
3 (C)For I was envious of the boastful,
When I saw the prosperity of the (D)wicked.
4 For there are no [a]pangs in their death,
But their strength is firm.
5 (E)They are not in trouble as other men,
Nor are they plagued like other men.
6 Therefore pride serves as their necklace;
Violence covers them (F)like a garment.
7 (G)Their [b]eyes bulge with abundance;
They have more than heart could wish.
8 (H)They scoff and speak wickedly concerning oppression;
They (I)speak [c]loftily.
9 They set their mouth (J)against the heavens,
And their tongue walks through the earth.
10 Therefore his people return here,
(K)And waters of a full cup are drained by them.
11 And they say, (L)“How does God know?
And is there knowledge in the Most High?”
12 Behold, these are the ungodly,
Who are always at ease;
They increase in riches.
13 Surely I have [d]cleansed my heart in (M)vain,
And washed my hands in innocence.
14 For all day long I have been plagued,
And chastened every morning.
15 If I had said, “I will speak thus,”
Behold, I would have been untrue to the generation of Your children.
16 When I thought how to understand this,
It was [e]too painful for me—
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God;
Then I understood their (N)end.
18 Surely (O)You set them in slippery places;
You cast them down to destruction.
19 Oh, how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment!
They are utterly consumed with terrors.
20 As a dream when one awakes,
So, Lord, when You awake,
You shall despise their image.
21 Thus my heart was grieved,
And I was [f]vexed in my mind.
22 (P)I was so foolish and ignorant;
I was like a beast before You.
23 Nevertheless I am continually with You;
You hold me by my right hand.
24 (Q)You will guide me with Your counsel,
And afterward receive me to glory.
25 (R)Whom have I in heaven but You?
And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You.
26 (S)My flesh and my heart fail;
But God is the [g]strength of my heart and my (T)portion forever.
27 For indeed, (U)those who are far from You shall perish;
You have destroyed all those who [h]desert You for harlotry.
28 But it is good for me to (V)draw near to God;
I have put my trust in the Lord God,
That I may (W)declare all Your works.
