LIBRO III
El destino de los malos
Salmo de Asaf.
73 Ciertamente es bueno Dios para con Israel,
Para con los limpios de corazón.
2 En cuanto a mí, casi se deslizaron mis pies;
Por poco resbalaron mis pasos.
3 Porque tuve envidia de los arrogantes,
Viendo la prosperidad de los impíos.
4 Porque no tienen congojas por su muerte,
Pues su vigor está entero.
5 No pasan trabajos como los otros mortales,
Ni son azotados como los demás hombres.
6 Por tanto, la soberbia los corona;
Se cubren de vestido de violencia.
7 Los ojos se les saltan de gordura;
Logran con creces los antojos del corazón.
8 Se mofan y hablan con maldad de hacer violencia;
Hablan con altanería.
9 Ponen su boca contra el cielo,
Y su lengua pasea la tierra.
10 Por eso Dios hará volver a su pueblo aquí,
Y aguas en abundancia serán extraídas para ellos.
11 Y dicen: ¿Cómo sabe Dios?
¿Y hay conocimiento en el Altísimo?
12 He aquí estos impíos,
Sin ser turbados del mundo, alcanzaron riquezas.
13 Verdaderamente en vano he limpiado mi corazón,
Y lavado mis manos en inocencia;
14 Pues he sido azotado todo el día,
Y castigado todas las mañanas.
15 Si dijera yo: Hablaré como ellos,
He aquí, a la generación de tus hijos engañaría.
16 Cuando pensé para saber esto,
Fue duro trabajo para mí,
17 Hasta que entrando en el santuario de Dios,
Comprendí el fin de ellos.
18 Ciertamente los has puesto en deslizaderos;
En asolamientos los harás caer.
19 ¡Cómo han sido asolados de repente!
Perecieron, se consumieron de terrores.
20 Como sueño del que despierta,
Así, Señor, cuando despertares, menospreciarás su apariencia.
21 Se llenó de amargura mi alma,
Y en mi corazón sentía punzadas.
22 Tan torpe era yo, que no entendía;
Era como una bestia delante de ti.
23 Con todo, yo siempre estuve contigo;
Me tomaste de la mano derecha.
24 Me has guiado según tu consejo,
Y después me recibirás en gloria.
25 ¿A quién tengo yo en los cielos sino a ti?
Y fuera de ti nada deseo en la tierra.
26 Mi carne y mi corazón desfallecen;
Mas la roca de mi corazón y mi porción es Dios para siempre.
27 Porque he aquí, los que se alejan de ti perecerán;
Tú destruirás a todo aquel que de ti se aparta.
28 Pero en cuanto a mí, el acercarme a Dios es el bien;
He puesto en Jehová el Señor mi esperanza,
Para contar todas tus obras.

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.

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.
