Psalms 73 A psalm to Asaph.

0 G5568 A psalm G3588 to G* Asaph.

1 G5613 O how G18 good G3588 G2316 is God G3588 to G* Israel, G3588 to the ones G2117 straight G3588 in the G2588 heart.

2 G1473 But my G1161 G3844 [²were a little G3397 G4531 ³shaken G3588 G4228 ¹feet]; G3844 [³a little G3641 G1632 ²slipped G3588 G1226.1 ¹my footsteps]. G1473

3 G3754 For G2206 I was jealous G1909 over G3588 the G459 lawless things, G1515 [² the peace G268 ³of sinners G2334 ¹viewing].

4 G3754 For G3756 there is no G1510.2.3 G365.1 sign of reluctance G1722 in G3588 G2288 their death, G1473 G2532 nor G4733 confirmation G1722 in G3588 G3148 their whip. G1473

5 G1722 In G2873 toils G444 of men G3756 they are not troubled, G1510.2.6 G2532 and G3326 with G444 other men G3756 they will not G3146 be whipped.

6 G1223 On account of G3778 this G2902 [²held G1473 ³them G3588 G5243 ¹their pride] G1473 G1519 to G5056 the end. G4016 They clothed themselves G93 [²injustice G2532 ³and G763 ⁴impiety G1438 ¹of their own].

7 G1831 [²comes forth G5613 ³as G1537 ⁴from out of G4720.1 ⁵fatness G3588 G93 ¹Their injustice]. G1473 G1330 They went G1519 by G1241.2 disposition G2588 of heart.

8 G1269.4 They considered G2532 and G2980 spoke G1722 in G4189 wickedness. G93 [²injustice G1519 ³in G3588 ⁴the G5311 ⁵haughtiness G2980 ¹They spoke].

9 G5087 They set G1519 [²against G3772 ³heaven G3588 G4750 ¹their mouth], G1473 G2532 and G3588 G1100 their tongue G1473 G1330 went through G1909 upon G3588 the G1093 earth.

10 G1223 On account of G3778 this G1994 [²shall return G3588 G2992 ¹my people] G1473 G1778.2 here; G2532 and G2250 [²days G4134 ¹full] G2147 shall be found G1722 with G1473 them.

11 G2532 And G2036 they said, G4459 How did G1097 God know? G3588 G2316 G2532 and, G1487 Is there G1510.2.3 G1108 knowledge G1722 in G3588 the G5310 highest?

12 G2400 Behold, G3778 these G3588 are the G268 sinners, G2532 and G2112.1 they prosper G1519 into G3588 the G165 eon, G2722 holding G4149 wealth.

13 G2532 And G2036 I said, G686 Surely G3154.1 in folly G1344 I justified G3588 G2588 my heart, G1473 G2532 and G3538 washed G1722 [²in G121 ³innocent things G3588 G5495 ¹my hands]; G1473

14 G2532 and G1096 became G3146 for whipping G3650 all G3588 the G2250 day; G2532 and G3588 G1650 my reproof G1473 G1519 is in G3588 the G4405 mornings.

15 G1487 If G3004 I had said, G1334 I shall describe G3779 thus; G2400 behold, G3588 in the G1074 generation G3588 G5207 of your sons, G1473 G801.2 I have broken contract.

16 G2532 And G5274 I undertook G3588 G1097 to know G3778 this, G2873 but it is toilsome G1510.2.3 G1799 before G1473 me;

17 G2193 until G3739 of which time G1525 I should enter G1519 into G3588 the G38.1 sanctuary G3588 G2316 of God, G2532 and G4920 should perceive G1519 to G3588 G2078 their latter end. G1473

18 G4133 Besides, G1223 on account of G3588 G1386.1 their deceits G1473 G5087 you appointed G1473 evils unto them; G2556 G2598 you threw them down G1473 G1722 in G3588 their G1869 being lifted up.

19 G4459 O how G1096 they became G1519 for G2050 desolation. G1819 Suddenly G1587 they failed; G622 they were destroyed G1223 because of G3588 G458 their lawlessness. G1473

20 G5616 As G1798 a dream G1825 of one awakening, G2962 O lord, G1722 in G3588 G4172 your city, G1473 G3588 G1504 [²their image G1473 G1847 ¹you will treat] with contempt.

21 G3754 For G1572 [²was kindled G3588 G2588 ¹my heart], G1473 G2532 and G3588 G3510 my kidneys G1473 G241.2 were changed.

22 G2504 And I G1847 being with contempt, G2532 and G3756 not G1097 knowing, G2934.2 [²brutish G1096 ¹became] G3844 before G1473 you.

23 G2504 But I G1275 was always G3326 with G1473 you; G2902 you held G3588 G5495 [²hand G3588 G1188 ¹my right], G1473

24 G2532 and G1722 in G3588 G1012 your counsel G1473 G3594 you guided G1473 me, G2532 and G3326 with G1391 glory G4355 you received me. G1473

25 G5100 For what G1063 G1473 exists to me G5224 G1722 in G3588 the G3772 heaven? G2532 And G3844 besides G1473 you, G5100 what G2309 did I want G1909 upon G3588 the G1093 earth?

26 G1587 [⁴failed G3588 G2588 ¹My heart G1473 G2532 ²and G3588 G4561 ³my flesh]. G1473 G3588 G2316 God G3588 is the strength G2588 of my heart, G1473 G2532 and G3588 G3310 [² is my portion G1473 G3588 G2316 ¹God] G1519 into G3588 the G165 eon.

27 G3754 For G2400 behold, G3588 the G3118.2 ones being far G1438 [³by their own makings G575 ¹from G1473 ²you] G622 shall perish. G1842 You utterly destroyed G3956 every one G3588 G4203 committing harlotry G575 from G1473 you.

28 G1473 But for me G1161 G3588 G4347 to cleave to G3588 G2316 God G18 is good; G1510.2.3 G5087 to put G1722 [²in G3588 ³the G2962 ⁴ lord G3588 G1680 ¹my hope]; G1473 G3588 G1804 for me to declare G1473 G3956 all G3588 G133 your praises G1473 G1722 at G3588 the G4439 gates G3588 of the G2364 daughter G* of Zion.

new⁽ⁱ⁾

1 H430 Truly God H2896 is good H3478 to Israel, H1249 even to such as are of a clean H3824 heart.

2 H7272 But as for me, my feet H4592 were almost H5186 H5186 [H8804] gone; H838 my steps H369 had almost H8210 [H8795] slipped.

3 H7065 [H8765] For I was envious H1984 [H8802] at the foolish, H7200 [H8799] when I saw H7965 the prosperity H7563 of the wicked.

4 H2784 For there are no pangs H4194 in their death: H193 but their strength H1277 is firm.

5 H5999 They are not in trouble H582 as other men; H5060 [H8792] neither are they afflicted H5973 like H120 other men.

6 H1346 Therefore pride H6059 [H8804] surroundeth them as a chain; H2555 violence H5848 [H8799] covereth H7897 them as a garment.

7 H5869 Their eyes H3318 [H8804] stand out H2459 with fatness: H5674 [H8804] they have more H3824 than heart H4906 could wish.

8 H4167 [H8686] They jeer, H1696 [H8762] and speak H7451 evily H6233 concerning oppression: H1696 [H8762] they speak H4791 loftily.

9 H8371 [H8804] They set H6310 their mouth H8064 against the heavens, H3956 and their tongue H1980 [H8799] walketh H776 through the earth.

10 H5971 Therefore his people H7725 H7725 [H8799] return H1988 here: H4325 and waters H4392 of a full H4680 [H8735] cup are wrung out to them.

11 H559 [H8804] And they say, H410 How doth God H3045 [H8804] know? H3426 and is there H1844 knowledge H5945 in the most High?

12 H7563 Behold, these are the wicked, H7961 who prosper H5769 in the world; H7685 [H8689] they increase H2428 in riches.

13 H2135 [H8765] Verily I have cleansed H3824 my heart H7385 in vain, H7364 [H8799] and washed H3709 my palms H5356 in innocency.

14 H3117 For all the day H5060 [H8803] long have I been afflicted, H8433 and chastened H1242 every morning.

15 H559 [H8804] If I say, H5608 [H8762] I will speak H3644 thus; H898 [H8804] behold, I had dealt treacherously H1755 against the generation H1121 of thy sons.

16 H2803 [H8762] When I thought H3045 [H8800] to know H5999 this, it was too painful H5869 for me;

17 H935 [H8799] Until I went H4720 into the sanctuary H410 of God; H995 [H8799] then I understood H319 their end.

18 H7896 [H8799] Surely thou didst set H2513 them in slippery places: H5307 [H8689] thou didst cast them down H4876 into ruin.

19 H8047 How are they brought into desolation, H7281 as in a moment! H5486 [H8804] they are utterly H8552 [H8804] consumed H1091 with terrors.

20 H2472 As a dream H6974 [H8687] when one awaketh; H136 so, O Sovereign, H5782 when thou awakest, H959 [H8799] thou shalt despise H6754 their image.

21 H3824 Thus my heart H2556 [H8691] was pungent, H8150 [H8709] and I was pricked H3629 in my kidneys.

22 H1198 So foolish H3045 [H8799] was I, and ignorant: H929 I was as a beast before thee.

23 H8548 Nevertheless I am continually H270 [H8804] with thee: thou hast held H3225 me by my right H3027 hand.

24 H5148 [H8686] Thou shalt guide H6098 me with thy counsel, H310 and afterward H3947 [H8799] receive H3519 me to glory.

25 H8064 Whom have I in heaven H776 but thee? and there is none upon earth H2654 [H8804] that I desire besides thee.

26 H7607 My flesh H3824 and my heart H3615 [H8804] faileth: H430 but God H6697 is the rock H3824 of my heart, H2506 and my portion H5769 to the age.

27 H7369 For, lo, they that are far H6 [H8799] from thee shall be lost: H6789 [H8689] thou hast extirpated H2181 [H8802] all them that go astray from thee.

28 H589 But H2896 it is good H7132 for me to draw near H430 to God: H7896 [H8804] I have put H4268 my trust H136 in the Sovereign H3069 LORD, H5608 [H8763] that I may declare H4399 all thy works.

I was greued at ye wicked, to se the vngodly in soch prosperite. ⁴ For they are in no parell of death, but stonde fast like a palace. ⁵ They come in no misfortune like other folke, nether are they plaged like other men. ⁶ And this is the cause that they be so puft vp in pryde, & ouerwhelmed with cruelte and vnrigthuousnesse. ⁷ Their eyes swell for fatnesse, they do euen what they lyst. ⁸ Corrupte are they, and speake blasphemies maliciously, proude and presumptuous are their wordes. ⁹ They stretch forth their mouth vnto the heauen, & their tonge goeth thorow the worlde. ¹⁰ Therfore fall the people vnto them, and there out sucke they no small auauntage. ¹¹ Tush (saye they) how shulde God perceaue it? is there knowlege in the most hyest? ¹² Lo, these are the vngodly, these prospere in the worlde, these haue riches in possession. ¹³ Shulde I then clense my hert in vayne (thought I) & wash my hondes in innocency? ¹⁴ Wherfore shulde I be then punyshed daylie, & be chastened euery mornynge? ¹⁵ Yee I had allmost also sayde euen as they: but lo, then shulde I haue condemned the generacion of thy children. ¹⁶ Then thought I to vnderstonde this, but it was to harde for me. ¹⁷ Vntill I wete in to ye Sanctuary of God, & considered the ende of these men. ¹⁸ Namely, how thou hast set the in a slippery place, that thou maiest cast the downe headlynges & destroye the. ¹⁹ O how sodenly do they consume, perish, & come to a fearfull ende? ²⁰ Yee euen like as a dreame when one awaketh, so makest thou their ymage to vanish out of the cite. ²¹ Thus my hert was greued, & it wente euen thorow my reynes. ²² So foolish was I and ignoraunt, and as it were a beest before the. ²³ Neuerthelesse, I am allwaye by the, thou holdest me by my right hande. ²⁴ Thou ledest me with thy coucel, and afterwarde receauest me vnto glory. ²⁵ O what is there prepared for me in heauen? there is nothinge vpo earth, that I desyre in comparison of the. ²⁶ My flesh and my herte fayleth, but God is the strength of my hert, and my porcion for euer. ²⁷ For lo, they that forsake the, shal perishe, thou destroyest all them that committe fornicacion agaynst the. ²⁸ But it is good for me, to holde me fast by God, to put my trust in the LORDE God, and to speake of all thy workes.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ {A Psalm of Asaph} Truly God is loving unto Israel, even unto such as are of a clean heart. ² Nevertheless, my feet were almost gone; my treadings had well nigh slipped. ³ And why? I was grieved at the wicked, to see the ungodly in such prosperity. ⁴ For they are in no peril of death, but stand fast like a palace. ⁵ They come in no misfortune like other folk; neither are they plagued like other men. ⁶ And this is the cause that they be so puffed up in pride, and overwhelmed with cruelty and unrighteousness. ⁷ Their eyes swell with fatness, and they do even what they lust. ⁸ They corrupt others, and speak blasphemies maliciously; proud and presumptuous are their words. ⁹ They stretch forth their mouth unto the heaven, and their tongue goeth through the world. ¹⁰ Therefore fall the people unto them, and there out suck they no small advantage. ¹¹ "Tush," say they, "How should God perceive it? Is there knowledge in the most high?" ¹² Lo, these are the ungodly, these prosper in the world, these have riches in possession; ¹³ and I said, "Then have I cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency? ¹⁴ Wherefore should I be then punished daily, and be chastened every morning?" ¹⁵ Yea, I had almost also said even as they do; but lo, then should I have condemned the generation of thy children. ¹⁶ Then thought I to understand this; but it was too hard for me, ¹⁷ until I went into the Sanctuary of God. Then understood I the end of these men. ¹⁸ Namely, how thou hast set them in a slippery places, that thou mayest cast them down headlong and destroy them. ¹⁹ O how suddenly do they consume, perish and come to a fearful end! ²⁰ Yea, even like as a dream when one awaketh, so makest thou their image to vanish out of the city. ²¹ Thus my heart was grieved, and it went even through my veins. ²² So foolish was I, and ignorant, even as it were a beast before thee. ²³ Nevertheless, I am always by thee; thou holdest me by my righthand. ²⁴ Thou leadest me with thy counsel, and afterward receivest me unto glory. ²⁵ Whom have I in heaven but thee? There is nothing upon earth, that I desire in comparison of thee. ²⁶ My flesh and my heart faileth; but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever. ²⁷ For lo, they that forsake thee shall perish; thou destroyest all them that commit fornication against thee. ²⁸ But it is good for me to hold me fast by God, to put my trust in the LORD God, and to speak of all thy works in the gates of the daughter of Zion.

DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ A psalm for Asaph. How good is God to Israel, to them that are of a right heart! ² But my feet were almost moved; my steps had well nigh slipped. ³ Because I had a zeal on occasion of the wicked, seeing the prosperity of sinners. ⁴ For there is no regard to their death, nor is there strength in their stripes. ⁵ They are not in the labour of men: neither shall they be scourged like other men. ⁶ Therefore pride hath held them fast: they are covered with their iniquity and their wickedness. ⁷ Their iniquity hath come forth, as it were from fatness: they have passed into the affection of the heart. ⁸ They have thought and spoken wickedness: they have spoken iniquity on high. ⁹ They have set their mouth against heaven: and their tongue hath passed through the earth. ¹⁰ Therefore will my people return here and full days shall be found in them. ¹¹ And they said: How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High? ¹² Behold these are sinners; and yet, abounding in the world they have obtained riches. ¹³ And I said: Then have I in vain justified my heart, and washed my hands among the innocent. ¹⁴ And I have been scourged all the day; and my chastisement hath been in the mornings. ¹⁵ If I said: I will speak thus; behold I should condemn the generation of thy children. ¹⁶ I studied that I might know this thing, it is a labour in my sight: ¹⁷ Until I go into the sanctuary of God, and understand concerning their last ends. ¹⁸ But indeed for deceits thou hast put it to them: when they were lifted up thou hast cast them down. ¹⁹ How are they brought to desolation? they have suddenly ceased to be: they have perished by reason of their iniquity. ²⁰ As the dream of them that awake, O Lord; so in thy city thou shalt bring their image to nothing. ²¹ For my heart hath been inflamed, and my reins have been changed: ²² And I am brought to nothing, and I knew not. ²³ I am become as a beast before thee: and I am always with thee. ²⁴ Thou hast held me by my right hand; and by thy will thou hast conducted me, and with thy glory thou hast received me. ²⁵ For what have I in heaven? and besides thee what do I desire upon earth? ²⁶ For thee my flesh and my heart hath fainted away: thou art the God of my heart, and the God that is my portion for ever. ²⁷ For behold they that go far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that are disloyal to thee. ²⁸ But it is good for me to adhere to my God, to put my hope in the Lord God: That I may declare all thy praises, in the gates of the daughter of Sion.

1 H4210 A Psalm H623 of Asaph H430 . Truly God H2896 is good H3478 to Israel H1249 , even to such as are of a clean H3824 heart.

2 H7272 But as for me, my feet H4592 were almost H5186 gone [H8804] [H8675] H5186 [H8803] H838 ; my steps H369 had well nigh H8210 slipped [H8795] .

3 H7065 For I was envious [H8765] H1984 at the foolish [H8802] H7200 , when I saw [H8799] H7965 the prosperity H7563 of the wicked.

4 H2784 For there are no bands H4194 in their death H193 : but their strength H1277 is firm.

5 H5999 They are not in trouble H582 as other men H5060 ; neither are they plagued [H8792] H5973 like H120 other men.

6 H1346 Therefore pride H6059 compasseth them about as a chain [H8804] H2555 ; violence H5848 covereth [H8799] H7897 them as a garment.

7 H5869 Their eyes H3318 stand out [H8804] H2459 with fatness H5674 : they have more [H8804] H3824 than heart H4906 could wish.

8 H4167 They are corrupt [H8686] H1696 , and speak [H8762] H7451 wickedly H6233 concerning oppression H1696 : they speak [H8762] H4791 loftily.

9 H8371 They set [H8804] H6310 their mouth H8064 against the heavens H3956 , and their tongue H1980 walketh [H8799] H776 through the earth.

10 H5971 Therefore his people H7725 return [H8799] [H8675] H7725 [H8686] H1988 hither H4325 : and waters H4392 of a full H4680 cup are wrung out [H8735] to them.

11 H559 And they say [H8804] H410 , How doth God H3045 know [H8804] H3426 ? and is there H1844 knowledge H5945 in the most High?

12 H7563 Behold, these are the ungodly H7961 , who prosper H5769 in the world H7685 ; they increase [H8689] H2428 in riches.

13 H2135 Verily I have cleansed [H8765] H3824 my heart H7385 in vain H7364 , and washed [H8799] H3709 my hands H5356 in innocency.

14 H3117 For all the day H5060 long have I been plagued [H8803] H8433 , and chastened H1242 every morning.

15 H559 If I say [H8804] H5608 , I will speak [H8762] H3644 thus H898 ; behold, I should offend [H8804] H1755 against the generation H1121 of thy children.

16 H2803 When I thought [H8762] H3045 to know [H8800] H5999 this, it was too painful H5869 for me;

17 H935 Until I went [H8799] H4720 into the sanctuary H410 of God H995 ; then understood [H8799] H319 I their end.

18 H7896 Surely thou didst set [H8799] H2513 them in slippery places H5307 : thou castedst them down [H8689] H4876 into destruction.

19 H8047 How are they brought into desolation H7281 , as in a moment H5486 ! they are utterly [H8804] H8552 consumed [H8804] H1091 with terrors.

20 H2472 As a dream H6974 when one awaketh [H8687] H136 ; so, O Lord H5782 , when thou awakest H959 , thou shalt despise [H8799] H6754 their image.

21 H3824 Thus my heart H2556 was grieved [H8691] H8150 , and I was pricked [H8709] H3629 in my reins.

22 H1198 So foolish H3045 was I, and ignorant [H8799] H929 : I was as a beast before thee.

23 H8548 Nevertheless I am continually H270 with thee: thou hast holden [H8804] H3225 me by my right H3027 hand.

24 H5148 Thou shalt guide [H8686] H6098 me with thy counsel H310 , and afterward H3947 receive [H8799] H3519 me to glory.

25 H8064 Whom have I in heaven H776 but thee ? and there is none upon earth H2654 that I desire [H8804] beside thee.

26 H7607 My flesh H3824 and my heart H3615 faileth [H8804] H430 : but God H6697 is the strength H3824 of my heart H2506 , and my portion H5769 for ever.

27 H7369 For, lo, they that are far H6 from thee shall perish [H8799] H6789 : thou hast destroyed [H8689] H2181 all them that go a whoring [H8802] from thee.

28 H589 But H2896 it is good H7132 for me to draw near H430 to God H7896 : I have put [H8804] H4268 my trust H136 in the Lord H3069 GOD H5608 , that I may declare [H8763] H4399 all thy works.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ A Psalm by Asaph. How good is God to Israel! To such as are upright in heart! ² But as for me, my feet were almost gone: my steps had well nigh slipped; ³ for I envied the unrighteous; when I saw the prosperity of sinners. ⁴ For there is no lifting up of eyes in their death: and in their affliction they have support. ⁵ They are not in trouble like other men; nor with other men to be scourged. ⁶ Therefore haughtiness hath got a mastery over them; they have clothed themselves with their iniquity and impiety. ⁷ Their iniquity springeth up as it were out of fatness; they passed on to the purpose of their heart. ⁸ They thought and spoke wickedly; they spoke injustice with a lofty air. ⁹ They set their mouth against heaven; and their tongue passed on over the earth. ¹⁰ Shall my people therefore turn to this; and will full days be found by them? ¹¹ They indeed said, How doth God know? and, Is there any knowledge in the Most High? ¹² Behold these who are sinful men; are always prosperous and have gotten wealth. ¹³ Nay, I myself said, Have I then in vain kept my heart just; and washed my hands in innocence. ¹⁴ All the day long I have been scourged; and the accusation against me is renewed every morning. ¹⁵ Had I said, I will make such a declaration openly: I should have been treacherous to the generation of thy children. ¹⁶ I therefore supposed, the trouble of knowing this is before me. ¹⁷ When I go to the sanctuary of God; I may understand the final issue. ¹⁸ It is but for their frauds thou hast dealt thus with them. Thou hast overthrown them by their exaltation.! ¹⁹ how they were for destruction! They are gone in a moment! They perished for their iniquity! ²⁰ As a dream of one awaked out of sleep. Thou, Lord, in thy city wilt spurn their ghost; ²¹ therefore my heart was cheered and my reins were changed. ²² I indeed was despicable for my want of knowledge; I was brutish as a beast before thee. ²³ As for me I shall be with thee continually: thou hast held me by my right hand: ²⁴ with thy counsel thou hast guided me, and taken me to thyself with glory. ²⁵ For what is there in heaven for me; or what on earth have I desired, besides thee? ²⁶ Hath my heart and my flesh failed? God is the strength of my heart; God is my portion forever. ²⁷ Seeing they who withdrew themselves from thee, shall perish; thou hast cut off every one who goeth a whoring from thee: ²⁸ It is therefore good for me to cleave to God; to place my hope upon the Lord: that I may publish all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion.

Webster⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ A Psalm of Asaph. 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 afflicted like other men. ⁶ Therefore pride encompasseth them 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 innocence. ¹⁴ For all the day long have I been afflicted, 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 I understood their end. ¹⁸ Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou didst cast 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 wilt 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 held me by my right hand. ²⁴ Thou wilt 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 besides 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 astray 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.

Webster_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 H430 Truly God H2896 is good H3478 to Israel H1249 , even to such as are of a clean H3824 heart.

2 H7272 But as for me, my feet H4592 were almost H5186 H5186 [H8804] gone H838 ; my steps H369 had almost H8210 [H8795] slipped.

3 H7065 [H8765] For I was envious H1984 [H8802] at the foolish H7200 [H8799] , when I saw H7965 the prosperity H7563 of the wicked.

4 H2784 For there are no pangs H4194 in their death H193 : but their strength H1277 is firm.

5 H5999 They are not in trouble H582 as other men H5060 [H8792] ; neither are they afflicted H5973 like H120 other men.

6 H1346 Therefore pride H6059 [H8804] surroundeth them as a chain H2555 ; violence H5848 [H8799] covereth H7897 them as a garment.

7 H5869 Their eyes H3318 [H8804] stand out H2459 with fatness H5674 [H8804] : they have more H3824 than heart H4906 could wish.

8 H4167 [H8686] They are corrupt H1696 [H8762] , and speak H7451 wickedly H6233 concerning oppression H1696 [H8762] : they speak H4791 loftily.

9 H8371 [H8804] They set H6310 their mouth H8064 against the heavens H3956 , and their tongue H1980 [H8799] walketh H776 through the earth.

10 H5971 Therefore his people H7725 H7725 [H8799] return H1988 here H4325 : and waters H4392 of a full H4680 [H8735] cup are wrung out to them.

11 H559 [H8804] And they say H410 , How doth God H3045 [H8804] know H3426 ? and is there H1844 knowledge H5945 in the most High?

12 H7563 Behold, these are the ungodly H7961 , who prosper H5769 in the world H7685 [H8689] ; they increase H2428 in riches.

13 H2135 [H8765] Verily I have cleansed H3824 my heart H7385 in vain H7364 [H8799] , and washed H3709 my hands H5356 in innocency.

14 H3117 For all the day H5060 [H8803] long have I been afflicted H8433 , and chastened H1242 every morning.

15 H559 [H8804] If I say H5608 [H8762] , I will speak H3644 thus H898 [H8804] ; behold, I should offend H1755 against the generation H1121 of thy children.

16 H2803 [H8762] When I thought H3045 [H8800] to know H5999 this, it was too painful H5869 for me;

17 H935 [H8799] Until I went H4720 into the sanctuary H410 of God H995 [H8799] ; then I understood H319 their end.

18 H7896 [H8799] Surely thou didst set H2513 them in slippery places H5307 [H8689] : thou didst cast them down H4876 into destruction.

19 H8047 How are they brought into desolation H7281 , as in a moment H5486 [H8804] ! they are utterly H8552 [H8804] consumed H1091 with terrors.

20 H2472 As a dream H6974 [H8687] when one awaketh H136 ; so, O Lord H5782 , when thou awakest H959 [H8799] , thou shalt despise H6754 their image.

21 H3824 Thus my heart H2556 [H8691] was grieved H8150 [H8709] , and I was pricked H3629 in my reins.

22 H1198 So foolish H3045 [H8799] was I, and ignorant H929 : I was as a beast before thee.

23 H8548 Nevertheless I am continually H270 [H8804] with thee: thou hast held H3225 me by my right H3027 hand.

24 H5148 [H8686] Thou shalt guide H6098 me with thy counsel H310 , and afterward H3947 [H8799] receive H3519 me to glory.

25 H8064 Whom have I in heaven H776 but thee? and there is none upon earth H2654 [H8804] that I desire besides thee.

26 H7607 My flesh H3824 and my heart H3615 [H8804] faileth H430 : but God H6697 is the strength H3824 of my heart H2506 , and my portion H5769 for ever.

27 H7369 For, lo, they that are far H6 [H8799] from thee shall perish H6789 [H8689] : thou hast destroyed H2181 [H8802] all them that go astray from thee.

28 H589 But H2896 it is good H7132 for me to draw near H430 to God H7896 [H8804] : I have put H4268 my trust H136 in the Lord H3069 GOD H5608 [H8763] , that I may declare H4399 all thy works.

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ^(72:1) A Psalm for Asaph. How good is God to Israel, to the upright in heart! ² ^(72:2) But my feet were almost overthrown; my goings very nearly slipped. ³ ^(72:3) For I was jealous of the transgressors, beholding the tranquility of sinners. ⁴ ^(72:4) For there is no sign of reluctance in their death: and they have firmness under their affliction. ⁵ ^(72:5) They are not in the troubles of other men; and they shall not be scourged with other men. ⁶ ^(72:6) Therefore pride has possessed them; they have clothed themselves with their injustice and ungodliness. ⁷ ^(72:7) Their injustice shall go forth as out of fatness: they have fulfilled their intention. ⁸ ^(72:8) They have taken counsel and spoken in wickedness: they have uttered unrighteousness loftily. ⁹ ^(72:9) They have set their mouth against heaven, and their tongue has gone through upon the earth. ¹⁰ ^(72:10) Therefore shall my people return hither: and full days shall be found with them. ¹¹ ^(72:11) And they said, How does God know? and is there knowledge in the Most High? ¹² ^(72:12) Behold, these are the sinners, and they that prosper always: they have possessed wealth. ¹³ ^(72:13) And I said, Verily in vain have I justified my heart, and washed my hands in innocency. ¹⁴ ^(72:14) For I was plagued all the day, and my reproof was every morning. ¹⁵ ^(72:15) If I said, I will speak thus; behold, I should have broken covenant with the generation of thy children. ¹⁶ ^(72:16) And I undertook to understand this, but it is too hard for me, ¹⁷ ^(72:17) until I go into the sanctuary of God; and so understand the latter end. ¹⁸ ^(72:18) Surely thou hast appointed judgments to them because of their crafty dealings: thou hast cast them down when they were lifted up. ¹⁹ ^(72:19) How have they become desolate! suddenly they have failed: they have perished because of their iniquity. ²⁰ ^(72:20) As the dream of one awakening, O Lord, in thy city thou wilt despise their image. ²¹ ^(72:21) For my heart has rejoiced, and my reins have been gladdened. ²² ^(72:22) But I was vile and knew not: I became brutish before thee. ²³ ^(72:23) Yet I am continually with thee: thou hast holden my right hand. ²⁴ ^(72:24) Thou hast guided me by thy counsel, and thou hast taken me to thyself with glory. ²⁵ ^(72:25) For what have I in heaven but thee? and what have I desired upon the earth beside thee? ²⁶ ^(72:26) My heart and my flesh have failed: but God is the strength of my heart, and God is my portion for ever. ²⁷ ^(72:27) For, behold, they that remove themselves far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed every one that goes a whoring from thee. ²⁸ ^(72:28) But it is good for me to cleave close to God, to put my trust in the Lord; that I may proclaim all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ BOOK THIRD: A Psalm of Assaph. Truly God is good to Israel, to such as are pure of heart. ² But as for me, it lacked but little that my feet had been moved: almost nothing was needed that my steps had slipped. ³ For I was envious at the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. ⁴ For there are no deadly fetters for them, but their strength is firm. ⁵ They share not in the trouble of mortals, and with men are they not afflicted. ⁶ Therefore is pride their neck-chain: violence envelopeth them as a garment. ⁷ Their eyes start out from fatness: they have exceeded their heart’s imaginings. ⁸ They scorn, and speak wickedly of oppression: loftily do they speak. ⁹ They set their mouth in the heavens, and their tongue walketh busily on the earth. ¹⁰ Therefore do his people turn away hither: and waters of a full cup are drained by them. ¹¹ And they say, How should God know? and is there knowledge in the Most High? ¹² Behold, these are the wicked; and yet prospering continually they increase in wealth. ¹³ Verily in vain have I thus cleansed my heart, and have washed in innocency my hands: ¹⁴ While I was afflicted all the day, and my chastisement came every morning. ¹⁵ But if I were to say, I will speak thus: behold, I would be treacherous against the generation of thy children. ¹⁶ And when I should think to know this, it would be trouble in my eyes; ¹⁷ Until I enter into the sanctuary of God; and understand what their future will be. ¹⁸ Surely thou placest them on slippery spots: thou lettest them fall down into destruction. ¹⁹ How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they perish, they come to their end with terrific events. ²⁰ As a dream after awaking, O Lord, reject thou in wrath their image. ²¹ For it fermented in my heart, and in my reins I felt sharp thrusts; ²² But I was indeed foolish, and I knew it not: I was as a thoughtless beast with thee. ²³ Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast seized hold of me by my right hand. ²⁴ With thy counsel wilt thou guide me, and afterward take me on to glory. ²⁵ Whom have I in heaven? and beside thee I desire nothing upon earth. ²⁶ Though my flesh and my heart should fall; yet the rock of my heart, and my portion will be God for ever. ²⁷ For, lo, those that are far from thee shall perish: thou destroyest every one that strayeth away from thee. ²⁸ But as regardeth me, to draw near to God is good for me: I have put in the Lord Eternal my trust, that I may relate all thy works.

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ A Psalm of Asaph. Only—good to Israel is God, to the clean of heart. And I—as a little thing, My feet have been turned aside, ² As nothing, have my steps slipped, For I have been envious of the boastful, ³ The peace of the wicked I see, That there are no bands at their death, ⁴ And their might is firm. ⁵ In the misery of mortals they are not, And with common men they are not plagued. ⁶ Therefore hath pride encircled them, Violence covereth them as a dress. ⁷ Their eye hath come out from fat. The imaginations of the heart transgressed; ⁸ They do corruptly, And they speak in the wickedness of oppression, From on high they speak. ⁹ They have set in the heavens their mouth, And their tongue walketh in the earth. ¹⁰ Therefore do His people return hither, And waters of fulness are wrung out to them. ¹¹ And they have said, `How hath God known? And is there knowledge in the Most High?' ¹² Lo, these are the wicked and easy ones of the age, They have increased strength. ¹³ Only—a vain thing! I have purified my heart, And I wash in innocency my hands, ¹⁴ And I am plagued all the day, And my reproof is every morning.
¹⁵ If I have said, `I recount thus,' Lo, a generation of Thy sons I have deceived. ¹⁶ And I think to know this, Perverseness it is in mine eyes, ¹⁷ Till I come in to the sanctuaries of God, I attend to their latter end. ¹⁸ Only, in slippery places Thou dost set them, Thou hast caused them to fall to desolations. ¹⁹ How have they become a desolation as in a moment, They have been ended—consumed from terrors. ²⁰ As a dream from awakening, O Lord, In awaking, their image Thou despisest.
²¹ For my heart doth show itself violent, And my reins prick themselves, ²² And I am brutish, and do not know. A beast I have been with Thee. ²³ And I am continually with Thee, Thou hast laid hold on my right hand. ²⁴ With Thy counsel Thou dost lead me, And after honour dost receive me. ²⁵ Whom have I in the heavens? And with Thee none I have desired in earth. ²⁶ Consumed hath been my flesh and my heart, The rock of my heart and my portion is God to the age. ²⁷ For, lo, those far from Thee do perish, Thou hast cut off every one, Who is going a whoring from Thee. ²⁸ And I—nearness of God to me is good, I have placed in the Lord Jehovah my refuge, To recount all Thy works!

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Chanting to Asaph. Surely God is good to Israel, to the clean of heart ² And I, my feet nearly turned aside; my going was almost poured out ³ For I was envious at the foolish; I shall see the peace of the unjust ⁴ For not the pains to their death, and their body fat ⁵ They are not in the trouble of men, and with man they shall not be struck. ⁶ For this, pride surrounded them as a neck-chain; the dress of violence will cover to them. ⁷ Their eye will come forth from fat: they passed over the imaginations of the heart ⁸ They will mock and speak in evil of oppression: they will speak from elevation. ⁹ They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue will go in the earth. ¹⁰ For this, his people will turn back here: and full water shall be sucked out to them. ¹¹ And they said, How did God know? and is there knowledge in the Most High? ¹² Behold, these the unjust, and they being secure of the world increased riches. ¹³ Surely in vain I cleansed my heart, and I will wash my hands in cleanness. ¹⁴ And I am struck all the day, and my reproofs for the mornings. ¹⁵ If I said, I will recount thus; behold, I transgressed against the generation of thy sons. ¹⁶ And I shall think to know this, it is labor in mine eyes. ¹⁷ Till I shall come to the holy place of God I shall not understand for their latter state. ¹⁸ Surely in slippery places thou wilt set them, to cast them down into ruins. ¹⁹ How they were for desolation as in a moment they perished; they were finished from sudden destruction. ²⁰ As a dream of him awaking, O Jehovah, in awaking thou wilt despise their image. ²¹ For my heart will be embittered, and my loins were hard. ²² And I stupid, and I shall not know, and I was a beast with thee. ²³ And I always with thee: thou didst hold by my right hand. ²⁴ In thy counsel thou wilt guide me, and after, thou wilt receive me with glory. ²⁵ Who to me in the heavens? and from thee I desired nothing in the earth. ²⁶ My flesh failed and my heart: the rock of my heart and my portion is God forever. ²⁷ For behold, they being far off from thee shall perish: thou didst lay waste all committing fornication from thee. ²⁸ And I drawing near to God, it is good for me: I put in the Lord Jehovah my refuge, to recount all thy works.

Darby⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ {A Psalm of Asaph.} Truly God is good to Israel, to such as are of a pure heart. ² But as for me, my feet were almost gone, my steps had well nigh slipped; ³ For I was envious at the arrogant, seeing the prosperity of the wicked. ⁴ For they have no pangs in their death, and their body is well nourished; ⁵ They have not the hardships of mankind, neither are they plagued like [other] men: ⁶ Therefore pride encompasseth them as a neck-chain, violence covereth them [as] a garment; ⁷ Their eyes stand out from fatness, they exceed the imaginations of their heart: ⁸ They mock and speak wickedly of oppression, they speak loftily: ⁹ They set their mouth in the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. ¹⁰ Therefore his people turn hither, and waters in fulness are wrung out to them. ¹¹ And they say, How can ?God know, and is there knowledge in the Most High? ¹² Behold, these are the wicked, and they prosper in the world: they heap up riches. ¹³ Truly have I purified my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency: ¹⁴ For all the day have I been plagued, and chastened every morning. ¹⁵ If I said, I will speak thus, behold, I should be faithless to the generation of thy children. ¹⁶ When I thought to be able to know this, it was a grievous task in mine eyes; ¹⁷ Until I went into the sanctuaries of ?God; [then] understood I their end. ¹⁸ Truly thou settest them in slippery places, thou castest them down in ruins. ¹⁹ How are they suddenly made desolate! they pass away, consumed with terrors. ²⁰ As a dream, when one awaketh, wilt thou, Lord, on arising despise their image. ²¹ When my heart was in a ferment, and I was pricked in my reins, ²² Then I was brutish and knew nothing; I was [as] a beast with thee. ²³ Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden my right hand; ²⁴ Thou wilt guide me by thy counsel, and after the glory, thou wilt receive me. ²⁵ Whom have I in the heavens? and there is none upon earth I desire beside thee. ²⁶ My flesh and my heart faileth: God is the rock of my heart and my portion for ever. ²⁷ For behold, they that are far from thee shall perish; thou destroyest every one that goeth a whoring from thee. ²⁸ But as for me, it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord Jehovah, that I may declare all thy works.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ A Psalm of Asaph.

1 H430 A Psalm of Asaph.
Surely God H2896 is good H3478 to Israel, H1249 Even to such as are pure H3824 in heart.

2 H7272 But as for me, my feet H4592 were almost H5186 gone; H838 My steps H369 had well nigh H8210 slipped.

3 H7065 For I was envious H1984 at the arrogant, H7200 When I saw H7965 the prosperity H7563 of the wicked.

4 H2784 For there are no pangs H4194 in their death; H193 But their strength H1277 is firm.

5 H5999 They are not in trouble H582 as other men; H5060 Neither are they plagued H5973 like H120 other men.

6 H1346 Therefore pride H6059 is as a chain H2555 about their neck; Violence H5848 covereth H7897 them as a garment.

7 H5869 Their eyes H3318 stand out H2459 with fatness: H5674 They have more H3824 than heart H4906 could wish.

8 H4167 They scoff, H7451 and in wickedness H1696 utter H6233 oppression: H1696 They speak H4791 loftily.

9 H8371 They have set H6310 their mouth H8064 in the heavens, H3956 And their tongue H1980 walketh H776 through the earth.

10 H5971 Therefore his people H7725 return H1988 hither: H4325 And waters H4392 of a full H4680 cup are drained by them.

11 H559 And they say, H410 How doth God H3045 know? H3426 And is there H1844 knowledge H5945 in the Most High?

12 H7563 Behold, these are the wicked; H5769 And, being alway H7961 at ease, H7685 they increase H2428 in riches.

13 H7385 Surely in vain H2135 have I cleansed H3824 my heart, H7364 And washed H3709 my hands H5356 in innocency;

14 H3117 For all the day H5060 long have I been plagued, H8433 And chastened H1242 every morning.

15 H559 If I had said, H559 I will speak H3644 thus; H898 Behold, I had dealt treacherously H1755 with the generation H1121 of thy children.

16 H2803 When I thought H3045 how I might know H5999 this, It was too painful H5869 for me;

17 H935 Until I went H4720 into the sanctuary H410 of God, H995 And considered H319 their latter end.

18 H7896 Surely thou settest H2513 them in slippery places: H5307 Thou castest them down H4876 to destruction.

19 H8047 How are they become a desolation H7281 in a moment! H5486 They are utterly H8552 consumed H1091 with terrors.

20 H2472 As a dream H6974 when one awaketh, H136 So, O Lord, H5782 when thou awakest, H959 thou wilt despise H6754 their image.

21 H3824 For my soul H2556 was grieved, H8150 And I was pricked H3629 in my heart:

22 H1198 So brutish H3045 was I, and ignorant; H929 I was as a beast before thee.

23 H8548 Nevertheless I am continually H270 with thee: Thou hast holden H3225 my right H3027 hand.

24 H5148 Thou wilt guide H6098 me with thy counsel, H310 And afterward H3947 receive H3519 me to glory.

25 H8064 Whom have I in heaven H776 but thee? And there is none upon earth H2654 that I desire besides thee.

26 H7607 My flesh H3824 and my heart H3615 faileth; H430 But God H6697 is the strength H3824 of my heart H2506 and my portion H5769 for ever.

27 H7369 For, lo, they that are far H6 from thee shall perish: H6789 Thou hast destroyed H2181 all them that play the harlot, departing from thee.

28 H589 But H2896 it is good H7132 for me to draw near H430 unto God: H7896 I have made H136 the Lord H136 Jehovah H4268 my refuge, H5608 That I may tell H4399 of all thy works.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ [BOOK THE THIRD]
¶ [A Melody of Asaph.]
Nothing but good, is God, Unto Israel, Unto the pure in heart. ² But, as for me,––My feet had, almost stumbled, My steps had, well–nigh slipped; ³ For I was envious of the boasters, At the prosperity of the lawless, used I to look. ⁴ For they have no pangs in their death, And vigorous is their body; ⁵ Of the toil of weak mortals, have they none, Nor, with the sons of earth, are they hard smitten. ⁶ For this cause, doth arrogance deck them as a neck–chain, And a garment of wrong is their attire; ⁷ Their iniquity, hath proceeded from fatness, They have surpassed the imaginations of the heart; ⁸ They mock, and wickedly command oppression, From on high, they command; ⁹ They have set, in the heavens, their mouth, And, their tongue, marcheth through the earth. ¹⁰ Therefore must his people return thither, And, the waters of abundance, are drained by them; ¹¹ And they say––How doth GOD know? And is there knowledge in the Most High? ¹² Lo! these, are the lawless, Who are secure for an age, They have attained unto wealth. ¹³ Altogether in vain, Have I cleansed my heart, And bathed in pureness, my hands; ¹⁴ And yet been smitten all the day, And been rebuked morning by morning!
¹⁵ If I had thought, I will relate it thus, Lo! the circle of thy sons, had I betrayed. ¹⁶ When I reasoned, that I might understand this, A vexation, it was in mine eyes: ¹⁷ Until I could enter the holy places of God,––Could give heed to their hereafter:–– ¹⁸ Surely, in slippery places, dost thou set them,––Thou hast suffered them to fall into places of danger. ¹⁹ How have they become desolate, as in a moment! They have ceased––come to an end, by reason of calamities. ²⁰ As the dream of him that waketh, O my Lord! when rousing thyself up, their shadowy being, wilt thou despise.
²¹ But my heart had grown embittered, And, in my reins, had I received wounds; ²² But, I, was brutish, and could not perceive, Like the beasts, had I become before thee. ²³ Nevertheless, I, am continually before thee, Thou hast taken hold of my right hand; ²⁴ By thy counsel, wilt thou guide me, And, afterwards, unto glory, wilt thou take me. ²⁵ Whom have I in the heavens? And, compared with thee, there is nothing I desire on earth. ²⁶ Failed have my flesh and my heart, The rock of my heart––and my portion, is God unto times age–abiding. ²⁷ For lo! they who are far from thee, shall perish, Thou hast put an end to every one who wandered unchastely from thee. ²⁸ But, as for me, the drawing near of God, is my blessedness,––I have made, of My Lord Yahweh, my refuge,––That I may recount all thy works.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ {SCROLL THREE{ {An Asaphic Psalm{ Surely Elohim is good to Israel, To those who are pure of heart." ² As for me, my feet had almost turned aside; My movement was nearly made useless." ³ For I was jealous of those who are boasting; I was seeing the well-being of the wicked. ⁴ For there are no hindrances for them; Robust and plump is their physique. ⁵ They are not involved in the toil of a mortal, And they are not touched by ills with humanity." ⁶ Wherefore pride is their necklace; Violence is draping about them like a burnoose. ⁷ Their eye protrudes from fat; Vain fancies pass through their heart. ⁸ They belittle and speak with evil intent; From their height they are plotting extortion. ⁹ They set their mouth in the heavens, And their tongue is going about the earth." ¹⁰ Wherefore His people are turning away thither, And waters of intemperance are being wrung out by them." ¹¹ And they say, How can El know? And is there knowledge in the Supreme? ¹² Behold, these are the wicked! Even these at ease eonian, who make their estate huge." ¹³ Surely for nought have I purged my heart And have been washing my palms in innocency. ¹⁴ I am touched by ills the entire day, And my correction begins in the mornings." ¹⁵ If I had said, I will endorse things like this, Behold, I would be treacherous to a generation of Your sons." ¹⁶ When I am attempting to realize this, It is toil in my eyes, ¹⁷ Until I am coming to the Grand Sanctuary of El; Then I am understanding what is in their hereafter. ¹⁸ Surely You shall set them down in slippery places; You will cast them into ruinations. ¹⁹ How they will become a desolation, as in a moment! They will be swept up; they will be finished by decadence!" ²⁰ Like a dream when one is waking, O Yahweh, when rousing, You shall lay waste their phantom." ²¹ For my heart was soured, And in my innermost being I was pricked." ²² I was irrational, and I was ignorant; I became like the beasts before You." ²³ Yet I am continually with You; You hold me by my right hand. ²⁴ By Your counsel are You guiding me, And afterward You shall take me into glory." ²⁵ Who do I have in the heavens but You? And besides You, none do I desire on earth." ²⁶ Exhausted is my flesh, and my heart; The Rock of my heart and my Portion is Elohim for the eon." ²⁷ For behold, those who are far from You, they shall perish; You will efface all who prostitute away from You." ²⁸ As for me, it is good for me to be near Elohim; I have set my refuge in my Lord Yahweh, To recount all Your praises In the gateways of the daughter of Zion."

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Truly, God is good to Israel, even to such as are clean in heart. ² But as for me, my feet had almost gone from under me; I was near to slipping; ³ Because of my envy of the men of pride, when I saw the well-being of the wrongdoers. ⁴ For they have no pain; their bodies are fat and strong. ⁵ They are not in trouble as others are; they have no part in the unhappy fate of men. ⁶ For this reason pride is round them like a chain; they are clothed with violent behaviour as with a robe. ⁷ Their eyes are bursting with fat; they have more than their heart's desire. ⁸ Their thoughts are deep with evil designs; their talk from their seats of power is of cruel acts. ⁹ Their mouth goes up to heaven; their tongues go walking through the earth. ¹⁰ For this reason they are full of bread; and water is ever flowing for them. ¹¹ And they say, How will the Lord see this? is there knowledge in the Most High? ¹² Truly, such are the sinners; they do well at all times, and their wealth is increased. ¹³ As for me, I have made my heart clean to no purpose, washing my hands in righteousness; ¹⁴ For I have been troubled all the day; every morning have I undergone punishment. ¹⁵ If I would make clear what it is like, I would say, You are false to the generation of your children. ¹⁶ When my thoughts were turned to see the reason of this, it was a weariness in my eyes; ¹⁷ Till I went into God's holy place, and saw the end of the evil-doers. ¹⁸ You put their feet where there was danger of slipping, so that they go down into destruction. ¹⁹ How suddenly are they wasted! fears are the cause of their destruction. ²⁰ As a dream when one is awake, they are ended; they are like an image gone out of mind when sleep is over. ²¹ My heart was made bitter, and I was pained by the bite of grief: ²² As for me, I was foolish, and without knowledge; I was like a beast before you. ²³ But still I am ever with you; you have taken me by my right hand. ²⁴ Your wisdom will be my guide, and later you will put me in a place of honour. ²⁵ Whom have I in heaven but you? and having you I have no desire for anything on earth. ²⁶ My flesh and my heart are wasting away: but God is the Rock of my heart and my eternal heritage. ²⁷ For those who are far away from you will come to destruction: you will put an end to all those who have not kept faith with you. ²⁸ But it is good for me to come near to God: I have put my faith in the Lord God, so that I may make clear all his works.

They are fully eaten up with terrors, ²⁰ like a dream when one awakens; so, O Jehovah, when You awake, You shall despise their image. ²¹ For my heart was grieved and I was pricked in my reins. ²² So foolish was I, and I did not know; I was like a beast before You. ²³ But I am always with You; You have held me by my right hand. ²⁴ You shall lead me with Your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. ²⁵ Whom have I in Heaven? And besides You I desire none on earth. ²⁶ My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the strength of my heart, and my part forever. ²⁷ For lo, those who are far from You shall perish; You have destroyed all who go lusting away from You. ²⁸ And I, it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in Jehovah God, to declare all Your works.

5 H5999 They are free from burdens H582 of men, H5060 neither are they plagued H5973 like H120 other men.

6 H1346 Therefore pride H6059 is like a chain H2555 around their neck. Violence H5848 covers H7897 them like a garment.

7 H5869 Their eyes H3318 bulge H2459 with fat. H3824 Their minds H5674 pass the limits H4906 of conceit.

8 H4167 They scoff H1696 and speak H7451 with malice. H4791 In arrogance, H1696 they threaten H6233 oppression.

9 H8371 They have set H6310 their mouth H8064 in the heavens. H3956 Their tongue H1980 walks H776 through the earth.

10 H5971 Therefore their people H7725 return H1988 to them, H4680 and they drink H4325 up waters H4392 of abundance.

11 H559 They say, H410 "How does God H3045 know? H3426 Is there H1844 knowledge H5945 in the Most High?"

12 H7563 Behold, these are the wicked. H5769 Being always H7961 at ease, H7685 they increase H2428 in riches.

13 H7385 Surely in vain H2135 I have cleansed H3824 my heart, H7364 and washed H3709 my hands H5356 in innocence,

14 H3117 For all day H5060 long have I been plagued, H8433 and punished H1242 every morning.

15 H559 If I had said, H559 "I will speak H3644 thus;" H898 behold, I would have betrayed H1755 the generation H1121 of your children.

16 H2803 When I tried H3045 to understand H5999 this, it was too painful H5869 for me;

17 H935 Until I entered H410 God's H4720 sanctuary, H995 and considered H319 their latter end.

18 H7896 Surely you set H2513 them in slippery places. H5307 You throw them down H4876 to destruction.

19 H7281 How they are suddenly H8047 destroyed! H5486 They are completely H8552 swept away H1091 with terrors.

20 H2472 As a dream H6974 when one wakes H136 up, so, Lord, H5782 when you awake, H959 you will despise H6754 their fantasies.

21 H3824 For my soul H2556 was grieved. H8150 I was embittered H3629 in my heart.

22 H1198 I was so senseless H3045 and ignorant. H929 I was a brute beast before you.

23 H8548 Nevertheless, I am continually H270 with you. You have held H3225 my right H3027 hand.

24 H5148 You will guide H6098 me with your counsel, H310 and afterward H3947 receive H3519 me to glory.

25 H8064 Whom do I have in heaven? H776 There is no one on earth H2654 whom I desire besides you.

26 H7607 My flesh H3824 and my heart H3615 fails, H430 but God H6697 is the strength H3824 of my heart H2506 and my portion H5769 forever.

27 H7369 For, behold, those who are far H6 from you shall perish. H6789 You have destroyed H2181 all those who are unfaithful to you.

28 H589 But H2896 it is good H7132 for me to come close H430 to God. H7896 I have made H136 the Lord H136 Yahweh H4268 my refuge, H5608 that I may tell H4399 of all your works.

1 H4210 A Psalm H623 of Asaph. H389 Truly H430 God H2896 is good H3478 to Israel, H1249 even to such as are of a clean H3824 heart.

2 H7272 But as for me, my feet H4592 were almost H5186 gone; H838 my steps H369 had well H4592 near H8210 slipped.

3 H7065 For I was envious H1984 at the foolish, H7200 when I saw H7965 the prosperity H7563 of the wicked.

4 H369 For there are no H2784 bands H4194 in their death: H193 but their strength H1277 is firm.

5 H5999 They are not in trouble H582 as other men; H3808 neither H5060 are they plagued H5973 like H120 other men.

6 H1346 Therefore pride H6059 compasses H6059 them about as a chain; H2555 violence H5848 covers H7897 them as a garment.

7 H5869 Their eyes H3318 stand H2459 out with fatness: H5674 they have more H3824 than heart H4906 could wish.

8 H4167 They are corrupt, H1696 and speak H7451 wickedly H6233 concerning oppression: H1696 they speak H4791 loftily.

9 H8371 They set H6310 their mouth H8064 against the heavens, H3956 and their tongue H1980 walks H776 through the earth.

10 H3651 Therefore H5971 his people H7725 return H1988 here: H4325 and waters H4392 of a full H4680 cup are wrung out to them.

11 H559 And they say, H349 How H410 does God H3045 know? H1844 and is there knowledge H5945 in the most H5945 High?

12 H2009 Behold, H428 these H7563 are the ungodly, H7951 who prosper H5769 in the world; H7685 they increase H2428 in riches.

13 H389 Truly H2135 I have cleansed H3824 my heart H7385 in vain, H7364 and washed H3709 my hands H5356 in innocence.

14 H3605 For all H3117 the day H1961 long have I been H5060 plagued, H8433 and chastened H1242 every morning.

15 H518 If H559 I say, H5608 I will speak H3644 thus; H2009 behold, H898 I should offend H1755 against the generation H1121 of your children.

16 H2803 When I thought H3045 to know H2063 this, H5999 it was too painful for me;

17 H5704 Until H935 I went H413 into H4720 the sanctuary H410 of God; H995 then understood H319 I their end.

18 H389 Surely H7896 you did set H2513 them in slippery H5307 places: you cast H5307 them down H4876 into destruction.

20 H2472 As a dream H6974 when one wakes; H136 so, O Lord, H5782 when you wake, H959 you shall despise H6754 their image.

21 H3588 Thus H3824 my heart H2556 was grieved, H8150 and I was pricked H3629 in my reins.

22 H1198 So foolish H3808 was I, and ignorant: H3045 H929 I was as a beast H5973 before you.

23 H8548 Nevertheless I am continually H270 with you: you have held H3225 me by my right H3027 hand.

24 H5148 You shall guide H6098 me with your counsel, H310 and afterward H3947 receive H3519 me to glory.

25 H4310 Whom H8064 have I in heaven H3808 but you? and there is none H776 on earth H2654 that I desire H5973 beside you.

26 H7607 My flesh H3824 and my heart H3615 fails: H430 but God H6697 is the strength H3824 of my heart, H2506 and my portion H5769 for ever.

27 H2005 For, see, H7369 they that are far H6 from you shall perish: H6789 you have destroyed H3605 all H935 them that go H2181 a whoring from you.

And is there knowledge in the Most High? ¹² Behold, these are the sinners, and they that prosper always; they have possessed wealth. ¹³ And I said, Verily in vain have I justified my heart, and washed my hands in innocence. ¹⁴ For I was plagued all the day, and my reproof was every morning. ¹⁵ If I said, I will speak thus; behold, I should have broken covenant with the generation of Your children. ¹⁶ And I undertook to understand this, but it is too hard for me, ¹⁷ until I go into the sanctuary of God, and so understand the latter end. ¹⁸ Surely You have appointed judgments to them because of their crafty dealings; You have cast them down when they were lifted up. ¹⁹ How have they become desolate! Suddenly they have failed; they have perished because of their iniquity. ²⁰ As the dream of one awakening, O Lord, in Your city You will despise their image. ²¹ For my heart has rejoiced, and my heart has been gladdened. ²² But I was vile and knew not: I became brutish before You. ²³ Yet I am continually with You. You have taken hold of my right hand. ²⁴ You have guided me by Your counsel, and You have taken me to Yourself with glory. ²⁵ For whom have I in heaven but You? And what have I desired upon the earth besides You? ²⁶ My heart and my flesh have failed; but God is the strength of my heart, and God is my portion forever. ²⁷ For behold, they that remove themselves far from You shall perish; You have destroyed everyone that goes a whoring from You. ²⁸ But it is good for me to cleave close to God, to put my trust in the Lord; that I may proclaim all Your praises in the gates of the daughter of Zion.

[therefore] is your wrath kindled against the sheep of your pasture? ² Remember your congregation which you have purchased from the beginning; you did ransom the rod of your inheritance; this mount Sion wherein you have lived. ³ Lift up your hands against their pride continually; [because of] all that the enemy has done wickedly in your holy places. ⁴ And they that hate you have boasted in the midst of your feast; they have set up their standards for signs, ⁵ ignorantly as it were in the entrance above; ⁶ they cut down its doors at once with axes as in a wood of trees; they have broken it down with hatchet and stone cutter. ⁷ They have burnt your sanctuary with fire to the ground; they have profaned the habitation of your name. ⁸ They have said in their heart, [even] all their kindred together, Come, let us abolish the feasts of the Lord from the earth. ⁹ We have not seen our signs; there is no longer a prophet; and [God] will not know us any more. ¹⁰ How long, O God, shall the enemy reproach? shall the enemy provoke your name forever? ¹¹ Therefore turn you away your hand, and your right hand from the midst of your bosom for ever? ¹² But God is our King of old; he has wrought salvation in the midst of the earth. ¹³ You did establish the sea, in your might, you did break to pieces the heads of the dragons in the water. ¹⁴ You did break to pieces the heads of the dragon; you did give him [for] meat to the Ethiopian nations. ¹⁵ You did cleave fountains and torrents; you dried up mighty rivers. ¹⁶ The day is your, and the night is your; you have prepared the sun and the moon. ¹⁷ You have made all the borders of the earth; you have made summer and spring. ¹⁸ Remember this your creation: an enemy has reproached the Lord, and a foolish people has provoked your name. ¹⁹ Deliver not to the wild beasts a soul that gives praise to you: forget not for ever the souls of your poor. ²⁰ Look upon your covenant: for the dark [places] of the earth are filled with the habitations of iniquity. ²¹ let not the afflicted and shamed one be rejected: the poor and needy shall praise your name. ²² Arise, O God, plead your cause: remember your reproaches that come from the foolish one all the day. ²³ Forget not the voice of your suppliants: let the pride of them that hate you continually ascend before you.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ([Psalm of Asaph]) God is truly good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. ² But my feet had almost stumbled. They had almost slipped. ³ I was envious of arrogant people when I saw the peace and prosperity that wicked people enjoy. ⁴ They suffer no pain. Their bodies are healthy. ⁵ They have no drudgery in their lives like ordinary people. They are not plagued with problems like mankind. ⁶ That is why arrogance is their necklace and violence covers them like clothing. ⁷ Their eyes stand out with fatness, and their heart’s imagination run wild. ⁸ They ridicule. They speak maliciously. They speak arrogantly about oppression. ⁹ They set their mouth in the heavens and their tongue parades through the earth. ¹⁰ Therefore his people return here and here they drink waters of abundance. ¹¹ They ask: How does God know? And is there knowledge with the most High? ¹² Behold, these are the ungodly. They prosper in the world; they increase in wealth. ¹³ I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence. ¹⁴ I have been plagued all day long, and chastened every morning. ¹⁵ If I say, I will speak thus; then, I would offend the generation of your children. ¹⁶ When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me. ¹⁷ I understood their end when I went into the sanctuary of God. ¹⁸ Surely you set them in slippery places. You threw them down into destruction. ¹⁹ How are they destroyed, suddenly! They are utterly consumed with terrors. ²⁰ It is like waking up from a dream, O Jehovah. When you awake you will despise everything they represent. ²¹ My heart was grieved and I was pierced within. ²² 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 You will guide me with your counsel, and afterward you give me honor (glory). ²⁵ Who have I in heaven but you? I desire none on earth except you. ²⁶ My flesh and my heart fail: God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever. ²⁷ Those who are far from you will perish. You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to you. ²⁸ It is good for me to draw near to God. I have put my trust in Jehovah God, that I may declare all your works.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ A song of Asaph.
A Plea for Deliverance God is indeed good to Israel, to those pure in heart. ² Now as for me, my feet nearly stumbled, as I almost lost my step. ³ For I was envious of the proud when I observed the prosperity of the wicked. ⁴ For there is no struggle at their deaths, and their bodies are healthy. ⁵ They do not experience problems common to ordinary people; they aren’t afflicted as others are. ⁶ Therefore pride is their necklace and violence covers them like a garment. ⁷ Their eyes bulge from obesity and the imaginations of their mind cross the border into sin. ⁸ In their mockery they speak evil; from their arrogant position they speak oppression. ⁹ They choose to speak against heaven; while they talk about things on earth. ¹⁰ Therefore God’s people return there and drink it all in like water until they’re satiated. ¹¹ Then they say, “How can God know? Does the Most High have knowledge?” ¹² Just look at these wicked people! They’re perpetually carefree as they increase their wealth. ¹³ I kept my heart pure for nothing and kept my hands clean from guilt. ¹⁴ For I suffer all day long and I am punished every morning. ¹⁵ If I say, “I will talk like this,” I would betray a generation of your children. ¹⁶ When I tried to understand this, it was too difficult for me ¹⁷ until I entered the sanctuaries of God. Then I understood their destiny. ¹⁸ You have certainly set them in slippery places; you will make them fall to their ruin. ¹⁹ How desolate they quickly become, completely destroyed by calamities. ²⁰ Like a dream when one awakens, Lord, you will despise their image when you arise. ²¹ When I chose to be bitter I was emotionally pained. ²² Then, I was too stupid and didn’t realize I was acting like a wild animal with you. ²³ But now I am always with you, for you keep holding my right hand. ²⁴ You will guide me with your wise advice, and later you will receive me with honor. ²⁵ Whom do I have in heaven but you? I desire nothing on this earth. ²⁶ My body and mind may fail, but God is my strength and my portion forever. ²⁷ Those far from you will perish; you will destroy those who are unfaithful to you. ²⁸ As for me, how good for me it is that God is near! I have made the Lord GOD my refuge so I can tell about all your deeds.

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ A song of Asaph.*
Surely God is good to Israel, to those pure of heart. ² But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled. My steps had nearly slipped, ³ because I envied the boastful when I saw the well-being* of the wicked. ⁴ For there are no pains up to their death, and their bodies are _⌊healthy_⌋.* ⁵ They do not have _⌊ordinary trouble_⌋,* and they are not plagued as other people.* ⁶ Therefore pride is their necklace; an outfit of violence covers them. ⁷ Their eye bulges from fat.* Imaginings overflow their heart. ⁸ They mock and speak maliciously of oppression; they speak as though from on high. ⁹ They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue roams the earth. ¹⁰ Therefore his people turn there,* and abundant waters are slurped up by them. ¹¹ And they say, "How does God know?" and, "Does the Most High have knowledge?" ¹² See, these are the wicked, and they increase wealth, ever carefree. ¹³ Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure, and washed my hands in innocence. ¹⁴ And I have been plagued all day and rebuked _⌊every morning_⌋.* ¹⁵ If I had said, "I will speak thus," behold, I would have acted treacherously against your children's generation. ¹⁶ When I thought about how to understand this, it was troubling in my eyes ¹⁷ until I went into the sanctuary of God. Then I understood their fate. ¹⁸ Surely you set them on slippery places. You cause them to fall onto ruin.* ¹⁹ How they become a desolation in a moment! They come to a complete end by terrors. ²⁰ Like a dream upon awakening, when you wake up, O Lord, you will despise their fleeting form.* ²¹ When my heart was embittered and I felt stabbed in my kidneys, ²² then I was brutish and ignorant. With you I was like the beasts. ²³ But I am continually with you; you have hold of my right hand. ²⁴ You will guide me with your advice, and afterward you will take me into honor.* ²⁵ Whom do I have in the heavens except you? And with you I have no other desire on earth. ²⁶ My flesh and heart failed, but God is the _⌊strength_⌋* of my heart and my reward forever. ²⁷ For indeed, those distancing themselves from you will be ruined. You destroy each who abandons you for harlotry. ²⁸ But as for me, the approach to God is for my good. I have set the Lord Yahweh as my refuge, in order to tell all your works.

BSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ A Psalm of Asaph.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Surely God is good to Israel, to such as are pure in heart. ² But as for me, my feet were almost gone. My steps had nearly slipped.
³ Because I was envious of the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. ⁴ Because there are no pains in their death, but their strength is firm.
⁵ They are not in trouble as other men, nor are they plagued like other men. ⁶ Therefore pride is as a chain around their neck. Violence covers them as a garment.
⁷ Their eyes stand out with fatness. They have more than heart could wish.
⁸ They scoff and utter oppression in wickedness. They speak loftily. ⁹ They have set their mouth in the heavens and their tongue walks through the earth.
¹⁰ Therefore his people return here and waters of a full cup are drained by them.
¹¹ And they say, How does God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?
¹² Behold, these are the wicked and those who prosper of old. They have possessed wealth.
¹³ Surely in vain I have cleansed my heart and washed my hands in innocence, ¹⁴ I have been plagued for all the day long and rebukes every morning.
¹⁵ If I had said, I will speak thus, behold, I would have dealt treacherously with the generation of your sons.
¹⁶ When I thought how I might understand this, it was too painful for me, ¹⁷ until I went into the sanctuary of God and considered their latter end.
¹⁸ Surely you set them in slippery places. You cast them down to destruction. ¹⁹ How they have become a desolation in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors.
²⁰ As a dream from awakening, O Lord, when you waken, you will despise their form.
²¹ Because my soul was grieved and I was pricked in my heart. ²² So I was stupid and ignorant. I was a beast before you.
²³ Nevertheless I am continually with you. You have held my right hand. ²⁴ You will guide me with your counsel and afterward receive me to glory.
²⁵ Whom have I in heaven? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides you. ²⁶ My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my everlasting portion.
²⁷ Because behold, those who are far from you will perish. You have destroyed all those who play the prostitute from you.
²⁸ But it is good for me to draw near to God. I have made the lord Jehovah my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.

Luther1545⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Ein Psalm Assaphs. Israel hat dennoch Gott zum Trost, wer nur reines Herzens ist. ² Ich aber hätte schier gestrauchelt mit meinen Füßen, mein Tritt hätte beinahe geglitten. ³ Denn es verdroß mich auf die Ruhmredigen, da ich sah, daß es den Gottlosen so wohl ging. ⁴ Denn sie sind in keiner Fahr des Todes, sondern stehen fest wie ein Palast. ⁵ Sie sind nicht in Unglück wie andere Leute und werden nicht wie andere Menschen geplagt. ⁶ Darum muß ihr Trotzen köstlich Ding sein, und ihr Frevel muß wohlgetan heißen. ⁷ Ihre Person brüstet sich wie ein fetter Wanst; sie tun, was sie nur gedenken. ⁸ Sie vernichten alles und reden übel davon, und reden und lästern hoch her. ⁹ Was sie reden, das muß vom Himmel herab geredet sein; was sie sagen, das muß gelten auf Erden. ¹⁰ Darum fällt ihnen ihr Pöbel zu und laufen ihnen zu mit Haufen wie Wasser ¹¹ und sprechen: Was sollte Gott nach jenen fragen? Was sollte der Höchste ihrer achten? ¹² Siehe, das sind die Gottlosen; die sind glückselig in der Welt und werden reich. ¹³ Soll's denn umsonst sein, daß mein Herz unsträflich lebt und ich meine Hände in Unschuld wasche ¹⁴ und bin geplagt täglich, und meine Strafe ist alle Morgen da? ¹⁵ Ich hätte auch schier so gesagt wie sie; aber siehe, damit hätte ich verdammt alle deine Kinder, die je gewesen sind. ¹⁶ Ich gedacht ihm nach, daß ich's begreifen möchte; aber es war mir zu schwer ¹⁷ bis daß ich ging in das Heiligtum Gottes und merkte auf ihr Ende. ¹⁸ Aber du setzest sie aufs Schlüpfrige und stürzest sie zu Boden. ¹⁹ Wie werden sie so plötzlich zunichte! Sie gehen unter und nehmen ein Ende mit Schrecken. ²⁰ Wie ein Traum, wenn einer erwachet, so machst du, HERR, ihr Bild in der Stadt verschmähet. ²¹ Aber es tut mir wehe im Herzen und sticht mich in meinen Nieren, ²² daß ich muß ein Narr sein und nichts wissen und muß wie ein Tier sein vor dir. ²³ Dennoch bleibe ich stets an dir; denn du hältst mich bei meiner rechten Hand, ²⁴ du leitest mich nach deinem Rat und nimmst mich endlich mit Ehren an. ²⁵ Wenn ich nur dich habe, so frage ich nichts nach Himmel und Erde. ²⁶ Wenn mir gleich Leib und Seele verschmachtet, so bist du doch, Gott, allezeit meines Herzens Trost und mein Teil. ²⁷ Denn, siehe, die von dir weichen, werden umkommen; du bringest um alle, die wider dich huren. ²⁸ Aber das ist meine Freude, daß ich mich zu Gott halte und meine Zuversicht setze auf den HERRN HERRN, daß ich verkündige all dein Tun.

20 H2472 Wie ein Traum H6974 , wenn einer erwacht H5782 , so machst H136 du, HERR H6754 , ihr Bild H959 in der Stadt verschmäht .

21 H2556 Da es mir wehe H3824 tat im Herzen H8150 und mich stach H3629 in meinen Nieren,

22 H1198 da war ich ein Narr H3045 und wußte H3045 nichts H929 ; ich war wie ein Tier vor dir.

23 H8548 Dennoch bleibe ich stets H270 an dir; denn du hältst H3225 mich bei meiner rechten H3027 Hand,

24 H5148 du leitest H6098 mich nach deinem Rat H3947 und nimmst H310 mich endlich H3519 mit Ehren H3947 an .

25 H2654 Wenn H2654 ich nur dich habe H8064 , so frage ich nichts nach Himmel H776 und Erde .

26 H7607 Wenn mir gleich Leib H3824 und Seele H3615 verschmachtet H430 , so bist du doch, Gott H5769 , allezeit H3824 meines Herzens H6697 Trost H2506 und mein Teil .

27 H7369 Denn siehe, die von dir weichen H6 , werden umkommen H6789 ; du bringest H6789 um H2181 alle, die von dir abfallen .

28 H589 Aber H2896 das ist meine Freude H7132 , daß ich mich zu H430 Gott H7132 halte H4268 und meine Zuversicht H7896 setzte H136 auf den HERRN H3069 HERRN H5608 , daß ich verkündige H4399 all dein Tun .

ELB1871⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Fürwahr, Gott ist Israel gut, denen, die reinen Herzens sind. ² Ich aber-wenig fehlte, so wären meine Füße abgewichen, um nichts wären ausgeglitten meine Schritte. ³ Denn ich beneidete die Übermütigen, als ich sah die Wohlfahrt der Gesetzlosen. ⁴ Denn keine Qualen haben sie bei ihrem Tode, und wohlgenährt ist ihr Leib. ⁵ Nicht sind sie im Ungemach der Sterblichen, und mit den Menschen werden sie nicht geplagt. ⁶ Deshalb umgibt sie der Hochmut wie ein Halsgeschmeide, Gewalttat umhüllt sie wie ein Gewand. ⁷ Es tritt aus dem Fett hervor ihr Auge; sie wallen über in den Einbildungen des Herzens. ⁸ Sie höhnen und reden in Bosheit von Bedrückung; von oben herab reden sie. ⁹ Sie setzen in den Himmel ihren Mund, und ihre Zunge wandelt auf der Erde. ¹⁰ Deshalb wendet sich hierher sein Volk, und Wasser in Fülle wird von ihnen geschlürft. ¹¹ Und sie sprechen: Wie wüßte es Gott, und wie sollte Wissen sein bei dem Höchsten? ¹² Siehe, diese sind Gesetzlose, und, immerdar sorglos, erwerben sie sich Vermögen. ¹³ Fürwahr, vergebens habe ich mein Herz gereinigt, und in Unschuld gewaschen meine Hände. ¹⁴ Da ich ja geplagt ward den ganzen Tag, und alle Morgen meine Züchtigung da war. ¹⁵ Wenn ich gesagt hätte: Ich will ebenso reden, siehe, so wäre ich treulos gewesen dem Geschlecht deiner Söhne. ¹⁶ Da dachte ich nach, um dieses zu begreifen: eine mühevolle Arbeit war es in meinen Augen; ¹⁷ bis ich hineinging in die Heiligtümer Gottes und jener Ende gewahrte. ¹⁸ Fürwahr, auf schlüpfrige Örter setzest du sie, stürzest sie hin zu Trümmern. ¹⁹ Wie sind sie so plötzlich verwüstet, haben ein Ende genommen, sind umgekommen durch Schrecknisse! ²⁰ Wie einen Traum nach dem Erwachen wirst du, Herr, beim Aufwachen ihr Bild verachten. ²¹ Als mein Herz sich erbitterte und es mich in meinen Nieren stach, ²² Da war ich dumm und wußte nichts; ein Tier war ich bei dir. ²³ Doch ich bin stets bei dir: du hast mich erfaßt bei meiner rechten Hand; ²⁴ durch deinen Rat wirst du mich leiten, und nach der Herrlichkeit wirst du mich aufnehmen. ²⁵ Wen habe ich im Himmel? und neben dir habe ich an nichts Lust auf der Erde. ²⁶ Vergeht mein Fleisch und mein Herz-meines Herzens Fels und mein Teil ist Gott auf ewig. ²⁷ Denn siehe, es werden umkommen, die dir ferne sind; du vertilgst alle, die buhlerisch von dir abweichen. ²⁸ Ich aber, Gott zu nahen ist mir gut; ich habe meine Zuversicht auf den Herrn, Jehova, gesetzt, um zu erzählen alle deine Taten.

DSV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Een psalm van Asaf. Immers is God Israël goed, dengenen, die rein van harte zijn. ² Maar mij aangaande, mijn voeten waren bijna uitgeweken; mijn treden waren bijkans uitgeschoten. ³ Want ik was nijdig op de dwazen, ziende der goddelozen vrede. ⁴ Want er zijn geen banden tot hun dood toe, en hun kracht is fris. ⁵ Zij zijn niet in de moeite als andere mensen, en worden met andere mensen niet geplaagd. ⁶ Daarom omringt hen de hovaardij als een keten; het geweld bedekt hen als een gewaad. ⁷ Hun ogen puilen uit van vet; zij gaan de inbeeldingen des harten te boven. ⁸ Zij mergelen de lieden uit, en spreken boselijk van verdrukking; zij spreken uit de hoogte. ⁹ Zij zetten hun mond tegen den hemel, en hun tong wandelt op de aarde. ¹⁰ Daarom keert zich Zijn volk hiertoe, als hun wateren eens vollen bekers worden uitgedrukt, ¹¹ Dat zij zeggen: Hoe zou het God weten, en zou er wetenschap zijn bij den Allerhoogste? ¹² Ziet, dezen zijn goddeloos; nochtans hebben zij rust in de wereld; zij vermenigvuldigen het vermogen. ¹³ Immers heb ik te vergeefs mijn hart gezuiverd, en mijn handen in onschuld gewassen. ¹⁴ Dewijl ik den gansen dag geplaagd ben, en mijn straffing is er alle morgens. ¹⁵ Indien ik zou zeggen: Ik zal ook alzo spreken; ziet, zo zou ik trouweloos zijn aan het geslacht Uwer kinderen. ¹⁶ Nochtans heb ik gedacht om dit te mogen verstaan; maar het was moeite in mijn ogen; ¹⁷ Totdat ik in Gods heiligdommen inging, en op hun einde merkte. ¹⁸ Immers zet Gij hen op gladde plaatsen; Gij doet hen vallen in verwoestingen. ¹⁹ Hoe worden zij als in een ogenblik tot verwoesting, nemen een einde, worden te niet van verschrikkingen! ²⁰ Als een droom na het ontwaken! Als Gij opwaakt, o Heere, dan zult Gij hun beeld verachten. ²¹ Als mijn hart opgezwollen was, en ik in mijn nieren geprikkeld werd, ²² Toen was ik onvernuftig, en wist niets; ik was een groot beest bij U. ²³ Ik zal dan geduriglijk bij U zijn; Gij hebt mijn rechterhand gevat; ²⁴ Gij zult mij leiden door Uw raad; en daarna zult Gij mij in heerlijkheid opnemen. ²⁵ Wien heb ik nevens U in den hemel? Nevens U lust mij ook niets op de aarde! ²⁶ Bezwijkt mijn vlees en mijn hart, zo is God de Rotssteen mijns harten, en mijn Deel in eeuwigheid. ²⁷ Want ziet, die verre van U zijn, zullen vergaan; Gij roeit uit, al wie van U afhoereert; ²⁸ Maar mij aangaande, het is mij goed nabij God te wezen; ik zet mijn betrouwen op den Heere HEERE, om al Uw werken te vertellen.

Giguet⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ¶ Que Dieu est bon pour Israël, pour ceux qui sont droits en leur coeur! ² Peu s’en est fallu que mes pieds n’aient chancelé; peu s’en est fallu que mes pieds n’aient glissé. ³ Car à voir la paix des pécheurs, je les avais enviés. ⁴ En effets à leur mort ils ne font point paraître qu’ils la refusent, et ils ont de la fermeté en leurs châtiments. ⁵ Ils n’ont point les peines des autres hommes, et comme les autres hommes ils ne seront point flagellés. ⁶ A cause de cela l’orgueil les possède; ils se sont revêtus de leur injustice et de leur impiété. ⁷ Leur injustice sortira de leur richesse comme de sa source; ils se sont adonnés aux caprices de leur coeur. ⁸ Ils ont pensé et parlé méchamment; ils ont parlé du Très-Haut avec injustice. ⁹ Ils ont fait usage de leur bouche contre le ciel, et leur langue a parcouru la terre. ¹⁰ A cause de cela mon peuple y retournera, et une grande plénitude de jours sera trouvée en eux. ¹¹ Ils ont dit: Que sait Dieu? et comment y a-t-il quelque science dans le Très -Haut? ¹² Voilà les pécheurs qui prospèrent toujours; ils possèdent les richesses. ¹³ Et moi-même j’ai dit: J’ai donc vainement rendu juste mon coeur, et levé mes mains parmi les innocents! ¹⁴ J’ai été châtié tout le jour, et réprimandé tous les matins. ¹⁵ ¶ Si j’avais parlé ainsi, voilà que j’eusse rompu mon alliance avec vos enfants. ¹⁶ Et J’ai entrepris de comprendre ces choses; mais ce travail reste inconnu devant moi, ¹⁷ Tant que je n’aurai pas pénétré dans le sanctuaire de Dieu; car c’est ainsi que je comprendrai les choses de la fin. ¹⁸ Or donc, Seigneur, vous avez rendu jugement contre eux à cause de leurs fourberies; et tandis qu’ils s’élevaient, vous les avez renversés. ¹⁹ Comment sont-ils tombés dans la désolation? Ils ont défailli soudain; ils ont péri à cause de leur iniquité. ²⁰ Comme le songe d’un homme qui s’éveille, Seigneur, dans votre cité vous mettrez à néant leur image. ²¹ ¶ C’est pourquoi mon coeur s’est réjoui, et mes reins se sont reposés. ²² Parce que moi aussi j’avais été mis à néant, et j’en ignorais la cause; ²³ Devant vous, j’étais devenu comme une brute, et je restai sans cesse avec vous. ²⁴ Mais vous m’avez pris par la main droite, vous m’avez conduit selon votre volonté; vous m’avez accueilli avec honneur. ²⁵ Or, qu’ai-je au ciel? Et après vous, qu’ai-je désiré sur la terre? ²⁶ Ma chair et mon coeur ont défailli, ô Dieu de mon coeur, et Dieu est mon partage pour toujours. ²⁷ Car ceux qui se sont éloignés de vous périront, et vous avez exterminé tous ceux qui se prostituaient loin de vous. ²⁸ Pour moi, il est bon que je m’attache à Dieu, que je place en Dieu mon espérance, que je chante ses louanges aux portes de la fille de Sion.

DarbyFR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹
Certainement Dieu est bon envers Israël, envers ceux qui sont purs de coeur. ² Et pour moi, il s'en est fallu de peu que mes pieds ne m'aient manqué, -d'un rien que mes pas n'aient glissé; ³ Car j'ai porté envie aux arrogants, en voyant la prospérité des méchants. ⁴ Car il n'y a pas de tourments dans leur mort, et leur corps est gras; ⁵ Ils n'ont point de part aux peines des humains, et ils ne sont pas frappés avec les hommes. ⁶ C'est pourquoi l'orgueil les entoure comme un collier, la violence les couvre comme un vêtement; ⁷ Les yeux leur sortent de graisse; ils dépassent les imaginations de leur coeur. ⁸ Ils sont railleurs et parlent méchamment d'opprimer; ils parlent avec hauteur; ⁹ Ils placent leur bouche dans les cieux, et leur langue se promène sur la terre. ¹⁰ C'est pourquoi son peuple se tourne de ce côté-là, et on lui verse l'eau à plein bord, ¹¹ Et ils disent: Comment *Dieu connaîtrait-il, et y aurait-il de la connaissance chez le Très-haut? ¹² Voici, ceux-ci sont des méchants, et ils prospèrent dans le monde, ils augmentent leurs richesses. ¹³ Certainement c'est en vain que j'ai purifié mon coeur et que j'ai lavé mes mains dans l'innocence: ¹⁴ J'ai été battu tout le jour, et mon châtiment revenait chaque matin. ¹⁵
Si j'avais dit: Je parlerai ainsi, voici, j'aurais été infidèle à la génération de tes fils. ¹⁶ Quand j'ai médité pour connaître cela, ce fut un travail pénible à mes yeux, ¹⁷ ce que je fusse entré dans les sanctuaires de Dieu... j'ai compris leur fin. ¹⁸ Certainement tu les places en des lieux glissants, tu les fais tomber en ruines. ¹⁹ Comme ils sont détruits en un moment! Ils sont péris, consumés par la frayeur. ²⁰ Comme un songe, quand on s'éveille, tu mépriseras, Seigneur, leur image, lorsque tu t'éveilleras. ²¹
Quand mon coeur s'aigrissait, et que je me tourmentais dans mes reins, ²² J'étais alors stupide et je n'avais pas de connaissance; j'étais avec toi comme une brute. ²³ Mais je suis toujours avec toi: tu m'as tenu par la main droite; ²⁴ Tu me conduiras par ton conseil, et, après la gloire, tu me recevras. ²⁵ Qui ai-je dans les cieux? Et je n'ai eu de plaisir sur la terre qu'en toi. ²⁶ Ma chair et mon coeur sont consumés; Dieu est le rocher de mon coeur, et mon partage pour toujours. ²⁷ Car voici, ceux qui sont loin de toi périront; tu détruiras tous ceux qui se prostituent en se détournant de toi. ²⁸ Mais, pour moi, m'approcher de Dieu est mon bien; j'ai mis ma confiance dans le Seigneur, l'Éternel, pour raconter tous tes faits.

Martin⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Psaume d'Asaph. Quoi qu'il en soit, Dieu est bon à Israël, savoir, à ceux qui sont nets de coeurs. ² Or quant à moi, mes pieds m'ont presque manqué, et il s'en est peu fallu que mes pas n'aient glissé. ³ Car j'ai porté envie aux insensés, en voyant la prospérité des méchants. ⁴ Parce qu'il n'y a point d'angoisses en leur mort, mais leur force est en son entier. ⁵ Ils ne sont point en travail avec les autres hommes, et ils ne sont point battus avec les autres hommes. ⁶ C'est pourquoi l'orgueil les environne comme un collier, et un vêtement de violence les couvre. ⁷ Les yeux leur sortent dehors à force de graisse; ils surpassent les desseins de leur coeur. ⁸ Ils sont pernicieux, et parlent malicieusement d'opprimer; ils parlent comme placés sur un lieu élevé. ⁹ Ils mettent leur bouche aux cieux, et leur langue parcourt la terre. ¹⁰ C'est pourquoi son peuple en revient là, quand on lui fait sucer l'eau à plein verre. ¹¹ Et ils disent : comment le Dieu Fort connaîtrait-il, et y aurait-il de la connaissance au Souverain ? ¹² Voilà, ceux-ci sont méchants, et étant à leur aise en ce monde, ils acquièrent de plus en plus des richesses. ¹³ Quoi qu'il en soit, c'est en vain que j'ai purifié mon coeur, et que j'ai lavé mes mains dans l'innocence. ¹⁴ Car j'ai été battu tous les jours, et mon châtiment revenait tous les matins. ¹⁵ Mais quand j'ai dit : j'en parlerai ainsi; voilà, j'ai été infidèle à la génération de tes enfants. ¹⁶ Toutefois j'ai tâché à connaître cela; mais cela m'a paru fort difficile. ¹⁷ Jusques à ce que je sois entré au sanctuaire du Dieu Fort, et que j'aie considéré la fin de telles gens. ¹⁸ Quoi qu'il en soit, tu les as mis en des lieux glissants, tu les fais tomber dans des précipices. ¹⁹ Comment ont-ils été ainsi détruits en un moment ? sont-ils défaillis ? ont-ils été consumés d'épouvantements ? ²⁰ Ils sont comme un songe lorsqu'on s'est réveillé. Seigneur tu mettras en mépris leur ressemblance quand tu te réveilleras. ²¹ Or quand mon coeur s'aigrissait, et que je me tourmentais en mes reins; ²² J'étais alors stupide, et je n'avais aucune connaissance; j'étais comme une brute en ta présence. ²³ Je serai donc toujours avec toi; tu m'as pris par la main droite, ²⁴ Tu me conduiras par ton conseil, et puis tu me recevras dans la gloire. ²⁵ Quel autre ai-je au Ciel ? Or je n'ai pris plaisir sur la terre en rien qu'en toi seul. ²⁶ Ma chair et mon coeur étaient consumés; mais Dieu est le rocher de mon coeur, et mon partage à toujours. ²⁷ Car voilà, ceux qui s'éloignent de toi, périront; tu retrancheras tous ceux qui se détournent de toi. ²⁸ Mais pour moi, approcher de Dieu est mon bien; j'ai mis toute mon espérance au Seigneur Eternel, afin que je raconte tous tes ouvrages.

Oui, Dieu est bon pour Israël, Pour ceux qui ont le coeur pur. ² Toutefois, mon pied allait fléchir, Mes pas étaient sur le point de glisser; ³ Car je portais envie aux insensés, En voyant le bonheur des méchants. ⁴ Rien ne les tourmente jusqu'à leur mort, Et leur corps est chargé d'embonpoint; ⁵ Ils n'ont aucune part aux souffrances humaines, Ils ne sont point frappés comme le reste des hommes. ⁶ Aussi l'orgueil leur sert de collier, La violence est le vêtement qui les enveloppe; ⁷ L'iniquité sort de leurs entrailles, Les pensées de leur coeur se font jour. ⁸ Ils raillent, et parlent méchamment d'opprimer; Ils profèrent des discours hautains, ⁹ Ils élèvent leur bouche jusqu'aux cieux, Et leur langue se promène sur la terre. ¹⁰ Voilà pourquoi son peuple se tourne de leur côté, Il avale l'eau abondamment, ¹¹ Et il dit: Comment Dieu saurait-il, Comment le Très-Haut connaîtrait-il? ¹² Ainsi sont les méchants: Toujours heureux, ils accroissent leurs richesses. ¹³ C'est donc en vain que j'ai purifié mon coeur, Et que j'ai lavé mes mains dans l'innocence: ¹⁴ Chaque jour je suis frappé, Tous les matins mon châtiment est là. ¹⁵ Si je disais: Je veux parler comme eux, Voici, je trahirais la race de tes enfants. ¹⁶ Quand j'ai réfléchi là-dessus pour m'éclairer, La difficulté fut grande à mes yeux, ¹⁷ Jusqu'à ce que j'eusse pénétré dans les sanctuaires de Dieu, Et que j'eusse pris garde au sort final des méchants. ¹⁸ Oui, tu les places sur des voies glissantes, Tu les fais tomber et les mets en ruines. ¹⁹ Eh quoi! en un instant les voilà détruits! Ils sont enlevés, anéantis par une fin soudaine! ²⁰ Comme un songe au réveil, Seigneur, à ton réveil, tu repousses leur image. ²¹ Lorsque mon coeur s'aigrissait, Et que je me sentais percé dans les entrailles, ²² J'étais stupide et sans intelligence, J'étais à ton égard comme les bêtes. ²³ Cependant je suis toujours avec toi, Tu m'as saisi la main droite; ²⁴ Tu me conduiras par ton conseil, Puis tu me recevras dans la gloire. ²⁵ Quel autre ai-je au ciel que toi! Et sur la terre je ne prends plaisir qu'en toi. ²⁶ Ma chair et mon coeur peuvent se consumer: Dieu sera toujours le rocher de mon coeur et mon partage. ²⁷ Car voici, ceux qui s'éloignent de toi périssent; Tu anéantis tous ceux qui te sont infidèles. ²⁸ Pour moi, m'approcher de Dieu, c'est mon bien: Je place mon refuge dans le Seigneur, l'Eternel, Afin de raconter toutes tes oeuvres.

1 H4210 ¶ Psaume H623 d’Asaph H430 . Oui, Dieu H2896 est bon H3478 pour Israël H3824 , Pour ceux qui ont le cœur H1249 pur.

2 H7272 Toutefois, mon pied H4592 allait H5186 fléchir H8804 H8675 H5186 H8803 H838 , Mes pas H369 étaient sur le point H8210 de glisser H8795 ;

3 H7065 Car je portais envie H8765 H1984 aux insensés H8802 H7200 , En voyant H8799 H7965 le bonheur H7563 des méchants.

4 H2784 Rien ne les tourmente H4194 jusqu’à leur mort H193 , Et leur corps H1277 est chargé d’embonpoint ;

5 H5999 Ils n’ont aucune part aux souffrances H582 humaines H5060 , Ils ne sont point frappés H8792 H5973 comme H120 le reste des hommes.

6 H1346 Aussi l’orgueil H6059 leur sert de collier H8804 H2555 , La violence H7897 est le vêtement H5848 qui les enveloppe H8799 ;

7 H5869 L’iniquité H3318 sort H8804 H2459 de leurs entrailles H3824 , Les pensées de leur cœur H5674 se font jour H8804 H4906 .

8 H4167 Ils raillent H8686 H1696 , et parlent H8762 H7451 méchamment H6233 d’opprimer H1696 ; Ils profèrent H8762 H4791 des discours hautains,

9 H8371 Ils élèvent H8804 H6310 leur bouche H8064 jusqu’aux cieux H3956 , Et leur langue H1980 se promène H8799 H776 sur la terre.

10 H5971 Voilà pourquoi son peuple H7725 se tourne H8799 H8675 H7725 H8686 H1988 de leur côté H4680 , Il avale H8735 H4325 l’eau H4392 abondamment,

11 H559 Et il dit H8804 H410 : Comment Dieu H3045 saurait H8804 H5945 -il, Comment le Très-Haut H1844 connaîtrait H3426 -il ?

12 H7563 Ainsi sont les méchants H7961 : Toujours heureux H5769 H7685 , ils accroissent H8689 H2428 leurs richesses.

13 H7385 C’est donc en vain H2135 que j’ai purifié H8765 H3824 mon cœur H7364 , Et que j’ai lavé H8799 H3709 mes mains H5356 dans l’innocence:

14 H3117 Chaque jour H5060 je suis frappé H8803 H1242 , Tous les matins H8433 mon châtiment est là.

15 H559 ¶ Si je disais H8804 H5608 : Je veux parler H8762 H3644 comme H898 eux, Voici, je trahirais H8804 H1755 la race H1121 de tes enfants.

16 H2803 Quand j’ai réfléchi H8762 H3045 là-dessus pour m’éclairer H8800 H5999 , La difficulté H5869 fut grande à mes yeux,

17 H935 Jusqu’à ce que j’eusse pénétré H8799 H4720 dans les sanctuaires H410 de Dieu H995 , Et que j’eusse pris garde H8799 H319 au sort final des méchants.

18 H7896 Oui, tu les places H8799 H2513 sur des voies glissantes H5307 , Tu les fais tomber H8689 H4876 et les mets en ruines.

19 H7281 Eh quoi ! en un instant H8047 les voilà détruits H5486 ! Ils sont enlevés, anéantis H8804 H8552 H8804 H1091 par une fin soudaine !

20 H2472 Comme un songe H6974 au réveil H8687 H136 , Seigneur H5782 , à ton réveil H959 , tu repousses H8799 H6754 leur image.

21 H3824 ¶ Lorsque mon cœur H2556 s’aigrissait H8691 H8150 , Et que je me sentais percé H8709 H3629 dans les entrailles,

22 H1198 J’étais stupide H3045 et sans intelligence H8799 H929 , J’étais à ton égard comme les bêtes.

23 H8548 Cependant je suis toujours H270 avec toi, Tu m’as saisi H8804 H3027 la main H3225 droite ;

24 H5148 Tu me conduiras H8686 H6098 par ton conseil H310 , Puis H3947 tu me recevras H8799 H3519 dans la gloire.

25 H8064 Quel autre ai-je au ciel H776 que toi ! Et sur la terre H2654 je ne prends plaisir H8804 qu’en toi.

26 H7607 Ma chair H3824 et mon cœur H3615 peuvent se consumer H8804 H430 : Dieu H5769 sera toujours H6697 le rocher H3824 de mon cœur H2506 et mon partage.

27 H7369 Car voici, ceux qui s’éloignent H6 de toi périssent H8799 H6789 ; Tu anéantis H8689 H2181 tous ceux qui te sont infidèles H8802 .

28 H589 Pour moi H7132 , m’approcher H430 de Dieu H2896 , c’est mon bien H7896 : Je place H8804 H4268 mon refuge H136 dans le Seigneur H3069 , l’Eternel H5608 , Afin de raconter H8763 H4399 toutes tes œuvres.

Albanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Me siguri Perëndia është i mirë me Izraelin, me ata që janë të pastër nga zemra. ² Por, sa për mua, gati gati po më pengoheshin këmbët dhe për pak hapat e mia do të shkisnin. ³ Sepse i kisha zili mburravecët, duke parë mirëqënien e njerëzve të këqij. ⁴ Sepse nuk ka dhembje në vdekjen e tyre, dhe trupi i tyre është i majmë. ⁵ Ata nuk po heqin si vdekatarët e tjerë, as pësojnë goditje si njerëzit e tjerë. ⁶ Prandaj kryelartësia i rrethon si një gjerdan dhe dhuna i mbështjell si një rrobe. ⁷ Sytë u dalin jashtë nga dhjami dhe përfytyrimet e çoroditura të zemrës së tyre vërshojnë. ⁸ Ata tallen dhe kurdisin me pabesi shtypjen, flasin me arrogancë. ⁹ E drejtojnë gojën e tyre kundër qiellit dhe gjuha e tyre përshkon tokën. ¹⁰ Prandaj njerëzit e tyre kthehen nga ajo anë dhe pijnë me të madhe ujërat e tyre, ¹¹ dhe thonë: "Si është e mundur që Perëndia të dijë çdo gjë dhe të ketë njohuri te Shumë i Larti?". ¹² Ja, këta janë të pabesë; megjithatë janë gjithnjë të qetë dhe i shtojnë pasuritë e tyre. ¹³ Më kot, pra, pastrova zemrën time dhe i lava duart në pafajësinë time. ¹⁴ Sepse jam goditur tërë ditën dhe jam ndëshkuar çdo mëngjes. ¹⁵ Sikur të kisha thënë: "Do të flas edhe unë kështu", ja, do të kisha mohuar brezin e bijve të tu. ¹⁶ Atëherë kërkova ta kuptoj këtë gjë, por ajo m'u duk shumë e vështirë. ¹⁷ Deri sa hyra në shenjtoren e Perëndisë dhe mora parasysh fundin e tyre. ¹⁸ Me siguri, ti i vë në vënde të rrëshqitshme dhe kështu i bën që të bien në shkatërrim. ¹⁹ Si u shkatërruan në një çast! Ata vdiqën të konsumuar nga tmerri! ²⁰ Ashtu si në një ëndërr, kur zgjohesh, kështu edhe ti, o Zot, kur të zgjohesh, do të përbuzësh pamjen e tyre të kotë. ²¹ Kur zemra ime acarohej dhe e ndjeja veten sikur më shponin nga brenda, ²² unë isha pa mend dhe pa kuptim; para teje isha si një kafshë. ²³ Por megjithatë unë jam gjithnjë me ty; ti më ke kapur nga dora e djathtë. ²⁴ Ti do të më udhëheqësh me këshillën tënde dhe do të më çosh pastaj në lavdi. ²⁵ Cilin kam në qiell veç teje? Dhe mbi tokë nuk dëshiroj tjetër njeri veç teje. ²⁶ Mishi im dhe zemra ime nuk mund të ligështohen, por Perëndia është kështjella e zemrës sime dhe pjesa ime në përjetësi. ²⁷ Sepse ja, ata që largohen prej teje do të vdesin; ti shkatërron tërë ata që, duke kurvëruar, largohen prej teje. ²⁸ Por sa për mua, e mira është t'i afrohem Perëndisë; e kam bërë Zotin tim, Zotin, strehën time, për të treguar gjithë veprat e tua.

Как благ Бог к Израилю, к чистым сердцем! ² (72:2) А я – едва не пошатнулись ноги мои, едва не поскользнулись стопы мои, – ³ (72:3) я позавидовал безумным, видя благоденствие нечестивых, ⁴ (72:4) ибо им нет страданий до смерти их, и крепки силы их; ⁵ (72:5) на работе человеческой нет их, и с прочими людьми не подвергаются ударам. ⁶ (72:6) От того гордость, как ожерелье, обложила их, и дерзость, как наряд, одевает их; ⁷ (72:7) выкатились от жира глаза их, бродят помыслы в сердце; ⁸ (72:8) над всем издеваются, злобно разглашают клевету, говорят свысока; ⁹ (72:9) поднимают к небесам уста свои, и язык их расхаживает по земле. ¹⁰ (72:10) Потому туда же обращается народ Его, и пьютводу полною чашею, ¹¹ (72:11) и говорят: „как узнает Бог? и есть ли ведение у Вышнего?" ¹² (72:12) И вот, эти нечестивые благоденствуют в веке сем, умножают богатство. ¹³ (72:13) так не напрасно ли я очищал сердце мое и омывал в невинностируки мои, ¹⁴ (72:14) и подвергал себя ранам всякий день и обличениямвсякое утро? ¹⁵ (72:15) Но если бы я сказал: „буду рассуждать так", – то я виновен был бы пред родом сынов Твоих. ¹⁶ (72:16) И думал я, как бы уразуметь это, но это трудно было в глазах моих, ¹⁷ (72:17) доколе не вошел я во святилище Божие и не уразумел конца их. ¹⁸ (72:18) Так! на скользких путях поставил Ты их и низвергаешь их в пропасти. ¹⁹ (72:19) Как нечаянно пришли они в разорение, исчезли, погибли от ужасов! ²⁰ (72:20) Как сновидение по пробуждении, так Ты, Господи, пробудив их, уничтожишь мечты их. ²¹ (72:21) Когда кипело сердце мое, и терзалась внутренность моя, ²² (72:22) тогда я был невежда и не разумел; как скот был я пред Тобою. ²³ (72:23) Но я всегда с Тобою: Ты держишь меня за правую руку; ²⁴ (72:24) Ты руководишь меня советом Твоим и потом примешь меня в славу. ²⁵ (72:25) Кто мне на небе? и с Тобою ничего не хочу на земле. ²⁶ (72:26) Изнемогает плоть моя и сердце мое: Бог твердыня сердца моегои часть моя вовек. ²⁷ (72:27) Ибо вот, удаляющие себя от Тебя гибнут; Ты истребляешь всякого отступающего от Тебя. ²⁸ (72:28) А мне благо приближаться к Богу!

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ (По слав. 72) Псалм на Асаф. Наистина Бог е благ към Израил, към чистите по сърце. ² А аз — краката ми без малко се препънаха, стъпките ми почти се подхлъзнаха, ³ защото завидях на надменните, като гледах благоденствието на безбожните, ⁴ защото нямат мъки в смъртта си и тялото им е охранено. ⁵ Не са в грижи като другите смъртни, нито са измъчвани като другите хора, ⁶ затова гордостта им е като гердан, насилието ги облича като дреха. ⁷ Очите им изпъкват от тлъстина, въображенията на сърцето им преливат. ⁸ Присмиват се и говорят злобно за насилие, говорят горделиво. ⁹ Издигнали са устата си против небето и езикът им обхожда земята. ¹⁰ Затова народът му се връща тук и вода с пълна чаша се изцежда за тях. ¹¹ И те казват: Как ще знае Бог? И как ще има знание у Всевишния? ¹² Ето, това са безбожните — и винаги благополучни, умножават богатство! ¹³ Наистина аз напразно очистих сърцето си и измих в невинност ръцете си, ¹⁴ защото цял ден съм измъчван и наказван всяка сутрин. ¹⁵ Ако кажех: Така ще говоря! — ето, бих изменил на поколението на синовете Ти. ¹⁶ Тогава размислих, за да разбера това, но беше прекалено трудно пред очите ми, ¹⁷ докато влязох в Божието светилище и разбрах техния край. ¹⁸ Ти наистина си ги поставил на хлъзгави места, сринал си ги в развалини. ¹⁹ Как изведнъж стигнаха до запустение! Погинаха, изчезнаха от внезапен ужас. ²⁰ Както сън, след като човек се събуди, така и Ти, Господи, когато се надигнеш, ще презреш образа им. ²¹ Така сърцето ми се огорчаваше и се измъчвах отвътре, ²² толкова бях обезумял и не разбирах, бях като животно пред Теб. ²³ И все пак аз съм постоянно с Теб, Ти си ме хванал за десницата ми. ²⁴ Ще ме водиш със съвета Си и след това ще ме приемеш в слава. ²⁵ Кого имам на небето? И на земята не желая нищо друго освен Теб. ²⁶ Дори да отпаднат плътта ми и сърцето ми, Бог е канарата на сърцето ми и моят дял до века. ²⁷ Защото, ето, тези, които се държат далеч от Теб, ще погинат, Ти изтребваш всички, които Те оставят в блудство. ²⁸ Но за мен е добре да се приближа до Бога; аз положих упованието си в Господа БОГА, за да възгласявам всичките Твои дела!

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Psalam. Asafov Kako je dobar Bog čestitima, Bog onima koji su čista srca! ² A meni umalo noge ne posrnuše, zamalo koraci ne okliznuše, ³ jer zločincima zavidjeh motreći sreću grešnika. ⁴ Nikakvu patnju ne snose, pretilo je tijelo njihovo. ⁵ Ne žive u mukama smrtnika, ljudske ih nevolje ne biju. ⁶ Stoga je oholost ogrlica vratu njihovu, a nasilje haljina koja ih pokriva. ⁷ Iz pretila srca izlazi opakost njihova, srca im se prelijevaju ispraznim tlapnjama. ⁸ Podsmjehuju se i zlobno govore, nasiljem prijete odozgo. ⁹ Ustima na nebo nasrću, a jezik se njihov obara na zemlju. ¹⁰ Zato moj narod za njima leti i srče obilne vode ¹¹ pa veli: "Kako da dozna Bog? Spoznaje li Svevišnji?" ¹² Eto, takvi su grešnici: uvijek spokojni, bogatstvo zgrću. ¹³ Jesam li, dakle, samo ja uzalud čuvao srce čisto i u nedužnosti prao ruke ¹⁴ kad sam primao udarce svaki dan i kaznu jutro za jutrom? ¹⁵ Da sam kazao: "Govorit ću kao i oni", izdao bih rod sinova tvojih. ¹⁶ Promišljah tada da bih spoznao: al' mi se učini mučno u očima mojim ¹⁷ sve dok ne nađoh ulaz u Božje svetinje pa prozreh kakav im je svršetak. ¹⁸ Zaista, na klizavu stazu ti ih postavljaš, u propast ih obaraš. ¹⁹ Kako učas propadoše, nestaše, užas ih izjede! ²⁰ Kao što čovjek prezire san kad se probudi, tako ćeš, Gospode, prezreti lik im kada ustaneš. ²¹ Kad mi duša bijaše ojađena, a bubrezi probodeni, ²² bezumnik bijah bez razbora, k'o živinče pred tobom. ²³ Al' ću odsad uvijek biti s tobom, jer ti prihvati desnicu moju: ²⁴ vodit ćeš me po naumu svojem da me zatim uzmeš u slavu svoju. ²⁵ Koga ja imam u nebu osim tebe? Kad sam s tobom, ne veselim se zemlji. ²⁶ Malaksalo mi tijelo i srce: okrilje srca moga, i baštino moja, o Bože, dovijeka! ²⁷ Doista, propast će oni koji se udaljuju od tebe, istrebljuješ svakog tko ti se iznevjeri. ²⁸ A meni je milina biti u Božjoj blizini, imati sklonište svoje u Jahvi. Pripovijedat ću sva tvoja djela na vratima Kćeri sionske.

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Žalm Azafovi. Jistě žeť jest Bůh dobrý Izraelovi, těm, kteříž jsou čistého srdce. ² Ale nohy mé téměř se byly ušinuly, o málo, že by byli sklouzli krokové moji, ³ Když jsem horlil proti bláznivým, vida štěstí nešlechetných. ⁴ Nebo nebývají vázáni až k smrti, ale zůstává v cele síla jejich. ⁵ V práci lidské nejsou, a s lidmi trestáni nebývají. ⁶ Protož otočeni jsou pýchou jako halží, a ukrutností jako rouchem ozdobným přiodíni. ⁷ Vysedlo tukem oko jejich; majíce hojnost nad pomyšlení srdce, ⁸ Rozpustilí jsou, a mluví zlostně, o nátisku velmi pyšně mluví. ⁹ Stavějí proti nebi ústa svá, a jazyk jejich po zemi se vozí. ¹⁰ A protož na to přichází lid jeho, když se jim vody až do vrchu nalívá, ¹¹ Že říkají: Jakť má o tom věděti Bůh silný? Aneb zdaž jest to známé Nejvyššímu? ¹² Nebo aj, ti bezbožní jsouce, mají pokoj v světě, a dosahují zboží. ¹³ Nadarmo tedy v čistotě chovám srdce své, a v nevinnosti ruce své umývám. ¹⁴ Poněvadž každý den trestán bývám, a kázeň přichází na mne každého jitra. ¹⁵ Řeknu-li: Vypravovati budu věci takové, hle, rodina synů tvých dí, že jsem jim křiv. ¹⁶ Chtěl jsem to rozumem vystihnouti, ale vidělo mi se pracno. ¹⁷ Až jsem všel do svatyní Boha silného, tu jsem srozuměl poslední věci jejich. ¹⁸ Jistě že jsi je na místech plzkých postavil, a uvržeš je v spustliny. ¹⁹ Aj, jakť přicházejí na spuštění jako v okamžení! Mizejí a hynou hrůzami, ²⁰ Jako snové tomu, kdož procítí; Pane, když je probudíš, obraz ten jejich za nic položíš. ²¹ Když zhořklo srdce mé, a ledví má bodena byla, ²² Nesmyslný jsem byl, aniž jsem co znal, jako hovádko byl jsem před tebou. ²³ A však vždycky jsem byl s tebou, nebo jsi mne ujal za mou pravici. ²⁴ Podlé rady své veď mne, a potom v slávu přijmeš mne. ²⁵ Kohož bych měl na nebi? A mimo tebe v žádném líbosti nemám na zemi. ²⁶ Ač tělo i srdce mé hyne, skála srdce mého, a díl můj Bůh jest na věky. ²⁷ Nebo aj, ti, kteříž se vzdalují tebe, zahynou; vytínáš ty, kteříž cizoloží odcházením od tebe. ²⁸ Ale mně nejlépe jest přídržeti se Boha; pročež skládám v Panovníku Hospodinu doufání své, abych vypravoval všecky skutky jeho.

Danish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ En Psalme af Asaf. Kun god er Gud imod Israel, imod de rene af Hjertet. ² Men jeg nær vare mine Fødder bøjede af Vejen; mine Skridt vare lige ved at glide ud. ³ Thi jeg blev nidkær over Daarerne; jeg maatte se, at det gik de ugudelige vel. ⁴ Thi der findes intet Band for dem indtil deres Død, og deres Styrke er vel ved Magt. ⁵ De have ikke Møje som andre Folk, og de blive ikke plagede som andre Mennesker. ⁶ Derfor har Hovmod prydet dem som en Kæde, Vold skjuler dem som et Smykke. ⁷ Deres Øjne staa ud af Fedme; Hjertets Tanker faa Fremgang. ⁸ De haane og tale i Ondskab om at øve Vold; fra det høje tale de. ⁹ De sætte deres Mund i Himmelen, og deres Tunge farer frem paa Jorden. ¹⁰ Derfor vender deres Folk hid, og Vand i fulde Drag uddrikkes af dem. ¹¹ Og de sige: Hvorledes skulde Gud vide det? og er der Kundskab hos den Højeste? ¹² Se, disse ere de ugudelige; dog ere de rolige til evig Tid, de forøge deres Gods. ¹³ Kun forgæves har jeg. renset mit Hjerte og toet mine Hænder i Uskyldighed. ¹⁴ Og dog blev jeg plaget den ganske Dag, og min Straf var der hver Morgen. ¹⁵ Dersom jeg havde sagt: Jeg vil føre saadan Tale; se, da havde jeg handlet troløst imod dine Børns Slægt. ¹⁶ Og jeg tænkte efter for at forstaa det; men det var en Kval i mine Øjne, ¹⁷ indtil jeg gik ind i Guds Helligdomme og gav Agt paa deres Endeligt. ¹⁸ Kun paa slibrige Steder sætter du dem; du lader dem falde til at ødelægges. ¹⁹ Hvorledes ere de i et øjeblik gaaede til Grunde? de ere omkomne, de have faaet Ende ved Forskrækkelserne. ²⁰ De ere ligesom en Drøm; naar een er opvaagnet; Herre! naar du opvaagner, vil du foragte deres Billede. ²¹ Da mit Hjerte var bittert, og; det stak mig i mine Nyrer, ²² var jeg ufornuftig og kunde ikke forstaa noget, jeg var som et Dyr fordi; ²³ Men jeg vil stedse blive hos dig; du holder ved min højre Haand. ²⁴ Du leder mig efter dit Raad, og derefter optager du mig til Ære. ²⁵ Hvem har jeg i Himlene? og lige med dig har jeg ikke Lyst til noget paa Jorden. ²⁶ Forsmægter mit Kød og mit Hjerte, saa er Gud mit Hjertes Klippe og min Del evindelig. ²⁷ Thi se, de som holde sig langt borte fra dig, omkomme; du udrydder hver den, som ved Bolen viger af fra dig. ²⁸ Men det er mig godt, at Gud er mig nær; jeg har sat mit Haab paa den Herre, HERRE, at jeg kan fortælle alle dine Gerninger.

CUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ （亞薩的詩。）　神實在恩待以色列那些清心的人！ ² 至於我，我的腳幾乎失閃；我的腳險些滑跌。 ³ 我見惡人和狂傲人享平安就心懷不平。 ⁴ 他們死的時候沒有疼痛；他們的力氣卻也壯實。 ⁵ 他們不像別人受苦，也不像別人遭災。 ⁶ 所以，驕傲如鏈子戴在他們的項上；強暴像衣裳遮住他們的身體。 ⁷ 他們的眼睛因體胖而凸出；他們所得的，過於心裡所想的。 ⁸ 他們譏笑人，憑惡意說欺壓人的話；他們說話自高。 ⁹ 他們的口褻瀆上天；他們的舌毀謗全地。 ¹⁰ 所以　神的民歸到這裡，喝盡了滿杯的苦水。 ¹¹ 他們說：神怎能曉得？至高者豈有知識呢？ ¹² 看哪，這就是惡人；他們既是常享安逸，財寶便加增。 ¹³ 我實在徒然潔淨了我的心，徒然洗手表明無辜。 ¹⁴ 因為，我終日遭災難；每早晨受懲治。 ¹⁵ 我若說，我要這樣講，這就是以奸詐待你的眾子。 ¹⁶ 我思索怎能明白這事，眼看實係為難， ¹⁷ 等我進了神的聖所，思想他們的結局。 ¹⁸ 你實在把他們安在滑地，使他們掉在沉淪之中。 ¹⁹ 他們轉眼之間成了何等的荒涼！他們被驚恐滅盡了。 ²⁰ 人睡醒了，怎樣看夢；主啊，你醒了也必照樣輕看他們的影像。 ²¹ 因而，我心裡發酸，肺腑被刺。 ²² 我這樣愚昧無知，在你面前如畜類一般。 ²³ 然而，我常與你同在；你攙著我的右手。 ²⁴ 你要以你的訓言引導我，以後必接我到榮耀裡。 ²⁵ 除你以外，在天上我有誰呢？除你以外，在地上我也沒有所愛慕的。 ²⁶ 我的肉體和我的心腸衰殘；但　神是我心裡的力量，又是我的福份，直到永遠。 ²⁷ 遠離你的，必要死亡；凡離棄你行邪淫的，你都滅絕了。 ²⁸ 但我親近　神是與我有益；我以主耶和華為我的避難所，好叫我述說你一切的作為。

2 H7272 至於我，我的腳 H4592 幾乎 H5186 H5186 失閃 H838 ；我的腳 H369 險些 H8210 滑跌。

3 H7200 我見 H7563 惡人 H1984 和狂傲人 H7965 享平安 H7065 就心懷不平。

4 H4194 他們死 H2784 的時候沒有疼痛 H193 ；他們的力氣 H1277 卻也壯實。

5 H582 他們不像別人 H5999 受苦 H5973 ，也不像 H120 別人 H5060 遭災。

6 H1346 所以，驕傲 H6059 如鏈子戴在 H2555 他們的項上；強暴 H7897 像衣裳 H5848 遮住他們的身體。

7 H5869 他們的眼睛 H2459 因體胖 H3318 而凸出 H5674 ；他們所得的，過於 H3824 心裡 H4906 所想的。

8 H4167 他們譏笑 H7451 人，憑惡意 H1696 說 H6233 欺壓 H1696 人的話；他們說話 H4791 自高。

9 H6310 他們的口 H8371 褻瀆 H8064 上天 H3956 ；他們的舌 H1980 毀謗 H776 全地。

12 H7563 看哪，這就是惡人 H7961 H7961 ；他們既是常享安逸 H2428 ，財寶 H7685 便加增。

15 H559 我若說 H5608 ，我要這樣講 H3644 ，這就是 H898 以奸詐 H1755 H1121 待你的眾子。

16 H2803 我思索 H3045 怎能明白 H5869 這事，眼 H5999 看實係為難，

18 H7896 你實在把 H2513 他們安在滑地 H5307 ，使他們掉 H4876 在沉淪之中。

19 H7281 他們轉眼之間 H8047 成了何等的荒涼 H1091 ！他們被驚恐 H5486 H8552 滅盡了。

20 H2472 人睡醒 H2472 了，怎樣看夢 H2472 ；主 H5782 啊，你醒 H959 了也必照樣輕看 H6754 他們的影像。

24 H6098 你要以你的訓言 H5148 引導 H310 我，以後 H3947 必接 H3519 我到榮耀裡。

Esperanto⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Psalmo de Asaf. Jes, bona estas Dio por Izrael, Por tiuj, kiuj havas puran koron. ² Sed mi-apenaux ne falsxanceligxis miaj piedoj, Preskaux elglitis miaj pasxoj. ³ CXar mi cxagrenigxis pro la fanfaronuloj, Vidante la bonstaton de la malvirtuloj. ⁴ CXar ili ne havas suferojn de morto, Kaj iliaj fortoj estas fortikaj. ⁵ Ili ne partoprenas en la zorgoj de homoj, Kaj ili ne suferas kun aliaj homoj. ⁶ Tial ilian kolon cxirkauxvolvis fiereco, Kaj perforteco ilin vestas kiel ornamo. ⁷ Pro graso elmetigxis iliaj okuloj, Superbordigxis en ilia koro la intencoj. ⁸ Ili mokas, ili parolas malbonintence pri premado; Ili parolas de alte. ⁹ Kontraux la cxielon ili levas sian busxon, Kaj ilia lango promenas sur la tero. ¹⁰ Tial tien ankaux iras Lia popolo, Kaj ili akvon cxerpas abunde. ¹¹ Kaj ili diras:Kiel Dio scias? Kaj cxu la Plejaltulo komprenas? ¹² Jen tiuj estas malvirtuloj, Kaj ili estas felicxuloj de la mondo kaj atingis ricxecon! ¹³ Nur vane mi purigis mian koron Kaj lavis per senkulpeco miajn manojn, ¹⁴ Kaj mi turmentigxas cxiutage Kaj mi suferas punon cxiumatene! ¹⁵ Se mi intencus paroli kiel ili, Tiam mi farigxus perfida al la generacio de Viaj filoj. ¹⁶ Mi meditis, por kompreni cxi tion; Sed gxi estis malfacila en miaj okuloj, ¹⁷ GXis mi venis en la sanktejon de Dio Kaj ekkomprenis la finon de tio. ¹⁸ Vi starigas ilin sur glitiga loko; Kaj Vi jxetas ilin en pereon. ¹⁹ Kiel momente ili ruinigxis! Pereis, malaperis de subita teruro! ²⁰ Simile al songxo post la vekigxo, Vi, ho mia Sinjoro, en kolero tute sensignifigas ilian bildon. ²¹ Kiam bolis mia koro Kaj turmentigxis mia internajxo, ²² Tiam mi estis senklerulo kaj mi ne komprenis; Mi estis kiel bruto antaux Vi. ²³ Sed mi cxiam estas apud Vi; Vi tenas min je la dekstra mano. ²⁴ Per Via konsilo Vi min kondukas, Kaj poste Vi akceptas min kun honoro. ²⁵ Kiu estas por mi en la cxielo? Kaj krom Vi mi nenion volas sur la tero. ²⁶ Konsumigxas mia karno kaj mia koro; Sed la fortikajxo de mia koro kaj mia parto estas Dio por eterne. ²⁷ Jen tiuj, kiuj malproksimigxas de Vi, pereas; Vi ekstermas cxiun, kiu perfidigxis al Vi. ²⁸ Sed al mi estas bone, ke mi estas proksima al Dio; Sur mian Sinjoron, sur la Eternulon, mi metis mian fidon, Por rakonti cxiujn Viajn farojn.

Finnish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Asaphin Psalmi. Totta on Jumala hyvä Israelille, niille, jotka puhtaat sydämestä ovat. ² Mutta minä olisin pian jaloillani horjunut: minun askeleeni olisivat lähes liukastuneet. ³ Sillä minä närkästyin öykkäreistä, että minä näin jumalattomat menestyvän. ⁴ Sillä ei he ole missään kuoleman hädässä, vaan heidän voimansa pysyy vahvana. ⁵ Ei he ole vastoinkäymisessä niinkuin muut ihmiset, ja ei heitä vaivata niinkuin muita ihmisiä. ⁶ Sentähden on heidän ylpeytensä koria, ja heidän väkivaltansa kaunistaa heitä. ⁷ Heidän silmänsä paisuvat lihavuudesta: he tekevät mitä ainoastansa heille kelpaa. ⁸ Kaikkia he katsovat ylön, ja sitte pahasti puhuvat: he puhuvat ja laittavat ylpiästi. ⁹ Mitä he puhuvat, sen täytyy olla taivaasta puhuttu: mitä he sanovat, sen täytyy maan päällä kelvata. ¹⁰ Sentähden noudattaa heitä yhteinen kansa, ja kokoontuvat heidän tykönsä niinkuin vedet, ¹¹ Ja sanovat: mitä Jumalan pitäis heitä kysymän? mitä pitäis korkeimman heistä lukua pitämän? ¹² Katso, ne ovat jumalattomat: he ovat onnelliset maailmassa ja rikastuvat. ¹³ Pitäiskö siis sen turhaan oleman, että minun sydämeni nuhteetoinna elää, ja minä pesen viattomuudessa minun käteni? ¹⁴ Ja minä ruoskitaan joka päivä, ja minun rangaistukseni on joka aamu käsissä? ¹⁵ Minä olisin lähes niin sanonut kuin hekin; mutta katso, niin minä olisin tuominnut kaikki sinun lapses, jotka ikänänsä olleet ovat. ¹⁶ Minä ajattelin sitä tutkia; mutta se oli minulle ylen raskas, ¹⁷ Siihenasti kuin minä menin Jumalan pyhään, ja ymmärsin heidän loppunsa. ¹⁸ Tosin sinä asetit heitä liukkaalle, ja syöksit heitä pohjaan. ¹⁹ Kuinka he niin pian hukkuvat: he hukkuvat ja saavat kauhian lopun. ²⁰ Niinkuin uni, koska joku herää, niinpä sinä, Herra teet heidän kuvansa kaupungissa ylönkatsotuksi. ²¹ Vaan kuin se karvasteli minun sydämessäni ja pisti minun munaskuitani, ²² Silloin olin minä tyhmä ja en mitään tietänyt: minä olin niinkuin nauta sinun edessäs. ²³ Kuitenkin minä pysyn alati sinun tykönäs; sillä sinä pidät minun oikiasta kädestäni. ²⁴ Sinä talutat minua neuvollas, ja korjaat minua viimein kunnialla. ²⁵ Kuin sinä ainoastansa minulla olisit, niin en minä ensinkään sitte taivaasta eli maasta tottelisi. ²⁶ Vaikka vielä minun ruumiini ja sieluni vaipuis, niin sinä, Jumala, kuitenkin olet aina minun sydämeni uskallus ja minun osani. ²⁷ Sillä katso, jotka sinusta eriävät, ne hukkuvat: sinä kadotat kaikki, jotka sinua vastaan huorin tekevät. ²⁸ Mutta se on minun iloni, että minä itseni Jumalan tykö pidän, ja panen toivoni Herran, Herran päälle, ilmoittamaan kaikkia sinun töitäs.

Totisesti, Jumala on hyvä Israelille, niille, joilla on puhdas sydän. ² Mutta minun jalkani olivat vähällä kompastua, askeleeni olivat aivan liukahtaa. ³ Sillä minussa nousi kateus ylvästelijöitä kohtaan, kun minä näin jumalattomien menestyvän. ⁴ Sillä he ovat vaivoista vapaat kuolemaansa asti, he ovat voimakkaat ja lihavat. ⁵ Eivät he koe muitten kuolevaisten tuskia, eikä heitä vaivata niinkuin muita ihmisiä. ⁶ Sentähden on ylpeys heillä kaulakoristeena, väkivalta on puku, joka heidät verhoaa. ⁷ Heidän silmänsä pullistuvat ulos heidän lihavuudestaan, heidän sydämensä kuvittelut kulkevat valtoimina. ⁸ He pilkkaavat ja puhuvat väkivallan puheita pahuudessansa, he puhuvat kuin korkeuksista. ⁹ Heidän suunsa tavoittelee taivasta, ja heidän kielensä kulkee pitkin maata. ¹⁰ Sentähden heidän kansansa liittyy heihin ja särpii vettä kyllälti. ¹¹ Ja he sanovat: "Kuinka Jumala sen tietäisi, onko tietoa Korkeimmalla?" ¹² Katso, nämä ovat jumalattomat; kuitenkin he elävät ainaisessa rauhassa ja rikastuvat yhäti. ¹³ Turhaan minä olen pitänyt sydämeni puhtaana ja pessyt käteni viattomuudessa: ¹⁴ minua vaivataan joka aika, ja minä saan joka aamu kuritusta. ¹⁵ Jos olisin sanonut: "Noin minäkin puhun", katso, niin minä olisin ollut petollinen koko sinun lastesi sukua kohtaan. ¹⁶ Minä mietin päästäkseni tästä selvyyteen; mutta se oli minulle ylen vaikeata, ¹⁷ kunnes minä pääsin sisälle Jumalan pyhiin salaisuuksiin ja käsitin, mikä heidän loppunsa on oleva. ¹⁸ Totisesti, sinä panet heidät liukkaalle, perikatoon sinä heidät syökset. ¹⁹ Kuinka he joutuvatkaan äkisti turmioon! He hukkuvat, heidän loppunsa on kauhistava. ²⁰ Niinkuin unen käy herätessä, niin sinä, Herra, kun heräjät, heidän valhekuvansa hylkäät. ²¹ Kun minun sydämeni katkeroitui ja minun munaskuihini pisti, ²² silloin minä olin järjetön enkä mitään älynnyt, olin sinun edessäsi kuin nauta. ²³ Kuitenkin minä pysyn alati sinun tykönäsi, sinä pidät minua kiinni oikeasta kädestäni. ²⁴ Sinä talutat minua neuvosi mukaan ja korjaat minut viimein kunniaan. ²⁵ Ketä muuta minulla olisi taivaassa! Ja kun sinä olet minun kanssani, en minä mistään maan päällä huoli. ²⁶ Vaikka minun ruumiini ja sieluni nääntyisi, Jumala on minun sydämeni kallio ja minun osani iankaikkisesti. ²⁷ Sillä katso, jotka sinusta eriävät, ne hukkuvat, sinä tuhoat kaikki, jotka haureudessa sinusta luopuvat. ²⁸ Mutta minun onneni on olla Jumalaa lähellä, minä panen turvani Herraan, Herraan, kertoakseni kaikkia sinun tekojasi.

Haitian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Se yon sòm Asaf. Wi, Bondye bon pou pèp Izrayèl la, pou moun ki pa gen move bagay sou konsyans yo. ² Men, pye m' glise, li manke chape, ti kras mwen tonbe, ³ paske mwen te anvye sò moun k'ap fè grandizè yo lè mwen te wè jan mechan yo alèz. ⁴ Yo pa gen pwoblèm, yo pa malad, yo byen gra. ⁵ Yo pa soufri sa lòt moun ap soufri. Yo pa gen pwoblèm lòt yo genyen. ⁶ Yo pran pòz pa kanmarad pesonn, y'ap plede bat moun. ⁷ Kè yo plen mechanste. Yo plen move plan nan tèt yo. ⁸ Y'ap pase lòt moun nan rizib, y'ap pale move pawòl. Yo awogan, y'ap plede mache di jan y'ap kraponnen moun. ⁹ Yo pale Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la mal, y'ap bay tout lòt moun lòd avèk awogans. ¹⁰ Se konsa, menm pèp Bondye a fè bann ak yo, yo vale tou sa yo di yo san di yon mo. ¹¹ Epi yo di: -Ki jan pou Bondye fè konnen? Moun ki anwo nan syèl la, ki bò l' ta pase pou li konnen? ¹² Wi, men ki jan mechan yo ye: Yo toujou alèz, y'ap anpile richès sou riches. ¹³ Nan kondisyon sa a, gen lè se pou gremesi mwen kenbe kò m' pou m' pa fè move bagay? Se pou gremesi mwen refize mete men m' nan move zafè? ¹⁴ Se tout lajounen, Bondye, w'ap fè m' soufri. Chak maten, ou la pou pini mwen. ¹⁵ Si m' di nan kè m': Bon, m'ap pale tankou mechan yo! Si m' fè sa, se trayi mwen ta trayi moun k'ap sèvi ou yo. ¹⁶ Se konsa mwen kalkile anpil pou m' konprann bagay sa a. Men, se pa t' bagay fasil menm pou mwen, ¹⁷ jouk lè mwen te al antre lakay ou, pou m' wè jan mechan yo gen pou yo fini. ¹⁸ Wi, ou mete yo sou yon chemen glise, ou fè yo tonbe, epi yo fini. ¹⁹ Kisa ou konprann? Anvan ou bat je ou yo fini, yo disparèt sitèlman yo pè. ²⁰ Seyè, yo tankou yon rèv pou ou. Leve ou leve, ou bliye sa. ²¹ Lè sa a, mwen santi m' dekouraje; sa te fè m' mal anpil. ²² Mwen te sòt, mwen pa t' konprann anyen. Mwen te tankou yon bèt devan ou. ²³ Mwen menm, mwen toujou la avèk ou, ou kenbe men m' pou m' pa tonbe. ²⁴ Ou ban m' konsèy pou m' pa pèdi chemen m'. Lèfini, ou resevwa m' lakay ou. ²⁵ Se ou menm sèl mwen gen nan syèl la. Mwen pa gen lòt. Se ou ki tout plezi m' sou latè. ²⁶ Kò m' te mèt ap deperi, lespri m' te mèt ap gaga, se ou menm menm, Bondye, ki tout fòs mwen, se ou menm ki tout mwen. ²⁷ Se vre wi, moun ki vire do ba ou pral mouri, w'ap fini nèt ak moun ki pa kenbe pawòl yo gen avè ou. ²⁸ Mwen menm, sa bon nèt pou m' rete bò kot Bondye: Se nan Seyè a mwen jwenn pwoteksyon. M'a fè konnen tou sa li fè.

Hungarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Aszáf zsoltára. ² De én?! Már-már meghanyatlottak lábaim; és kis híjja, hogy lépteim el nem iszamodtak. ³ Mert irígykedtem a kevélyekre, látván a gonoszok jó szerencséjét. ⁴ Mert halálukig nincsenek kínjaik, és az õ erejök állandó. ⁵ A halandók nyomorúságában nincs részök, és az emberekkel nem ostoroztatnak. ⁶ Ezért nyakuknak ékessége kevélység, ruha gyanánt erõszak borítja õket. ⁷ A kövérség miatt kinn ülnek az õ szemeik, elméjök gondolatjai csaponganak. ⁸ Gúnyolódnak és gonoszságot szólnak; elnyomásról beszélnek fennhéjázással. ⁹ Az égre tátogatják szájokat, és nyelvök eljárja a földet. ¹⁰ Azért fordul az õ népe ide, hogy tele [pohár] vizet szürcsölnek; ¹¹ És mondják: Mint tudhatná ezt az Isten, s van-é a Magasságosban értelem? ¹² Ímé, ezek gonoszok, és örök biztonságban vagyont gyûjtenek! ¹³ Bizony hiába tartottam én tisztán szívemet, és mostam ártatlanságban kezeimet; ¹⁴ Mert nyomorgattatom minden napon, és ostoroztatom minden reggel! ¹⁵ Ha azt mondom: Ilyen módon szólok: Ímé, a te fiaid nemzedékét árulom el. ¹⁶ Gondolkodom, hogy ezt megérthessem; de nehéz dolog ez szemeimben. ¹⁷ Mígnem bemenék az Isten szent helyébe: megértém azoknak sorsát. ¹⁸ Bizony síkos földön helyezted el õket; pusztaságokra vetetted ki õket. ¹⁹ Mind elpusztulnak egy szempillantásban! Elvesznek, elenyésznek a rettegéstõl. ²⁰ Mint álmot, ha felserkenünk: te Uram, ha felserkensz, [úgy ]veted meg képöket. ²¹ Hogyha keseregne szívem, és háborognának veséim: ²² Akkor balgatag és tudatlan volnék én, oktalan állat volnék te irántad. ²³ De én mindenkor veled vagyok, te fogod az én jobb kezemet. ²⁴ Tanácsoddal igazgatsz engem, és azután dicsõségbe fogadsz be engem. ²⁵ Kicsodám van az egekben? Náladnál egyébben nem gyönyörködöm e földön! ²⁶ Ha elfogyatkozik is testem és szívem: szívemnek kõsziklája és az én örökségem te vagy, oh Isten, mindörökké! ²⁷ Mert ímé, a kik eltávoznak tõled, elvesznek; mind kiirtod azokat, a kik elhajolnak tõled. ²⁸ De én? Isten közelsége oly igen jó nékem. Az Úr Istenben vetem reménységemet, hogy hirdessem minden te cselekedetedet.

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Mazmur Asaf. Sungguh baiklah Allah bagi umat-Nya, bagi orang yang berhati murni. ² Tetapi aku sudah bimbang, kepercayaanku hampir saja hilang, ³ sebab aku cemburu kepada orang congkak, ketika aku melihat keberuntungan orang jahat. ⁴ Sebab mereka tidak menderita sakit, badan mereka kuat dan sehat. ⁵ Mereka tidak menanggung susah, tidak ditimpa kemalangan seperti orang lain. ⁶ Karena itu mereka bersikap sombong, dan selalu bertindak dengan kekerasan. ⁷ Dari hati mereka tertumpah kejahatan; mereka sibuk dengan rencana-rencana jahat. ⁸ Mereka mengejek dan mengata-ngatai, dan dengan sombong mengancam akan menindas. ⁹ Mereka menghujat Allah di surga, dan membual kepada orang-orang di bumi, ¹⁰ sehingga umat Allah pun berbalik kepada mereka, dan percaya kepada omongan mereka. ¹¹ Kata mereka, "Allah tidak tahu, Yang Mahatinggi tidak mengerti." ¹² Begitulah keadaan orang jahat; hidupnya tenang, hartanya terus bertambah. ¹³ Percuma saja aku menjaga hatiku bersih; tak ada gunanya aku menjauhi dosa. ¹⁴ Sebab sepanjang hari aku ditimpa kemalangan; setiap pagi aku disiksa. ¹⁵ Sekiranya aku berkata begitu, aku mengkhianati angkatan anak-anakmu. ¹⁶ Tetapi waktu aku berusaha untuk mengerti, hal itu terlalu sulit bagiku. ¹⁷ Akhirnya aku masuk ke Rumah TUHAN, lalu mengertilah aku kesudahan orang jahat. ¹⁸ Kautempatkan mereka di jalan yang licin, dan Kaubiarkan mereka jatuh binasa. ¹⁹ Dalam sekejap mata mereka hancur, amat dahsyatlah kesudahan mereka. ²⁰ Seperti mimpi yang menghilang di waktu pagi; ketika Engkau bangkit, ya TUHAN, mereka pun lenyap. ²¹ Ketika aku merasa kesal dan hatiku seperti tertusuk, ²² aku bodoh dan tidak mengerti, aku seperti binatang di hadapan-Mu. ²³ Namun aku tetap di dekat-Mu, Engkau memegang tangan kananku. ²⁴ Kaubimbing aku dengan nasihat, dan Kauterima aku dengan kehormatan kelak. ²⁵ Siapa yang kumiliki di surga kecuali Engkau? Selain Engkau tak ada yang kuinginkan di bumi. ²⁶ Sekalipun jiwa ragaku menjadi lemah, Engkaulah kekuatanku, ya Allah; Engkaulah segala yang kumiliki untuk selama-lamanya. ²⁷ Orang yang meninggalkan Engkau akan celaka, Kaubinasakan orang yang tidak setia kepada-Mu. ²⁸ Tetapi bagiku sungguh baiklah berada dekat Allah, TUHAN Allah kujadikan tempat perlindunganku, supaya aku dapat mewartakan segala perbuatan-Nya.

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Salmo di Asaf CERTAMENTE Iddio è buono ad Israele, A quelli che son puri di cuore. ² Ora, quant’è a me, quasi che incapparono i miei piedi; Come nulla mancò che i miei passi non isdrucciolassero. ³ Perciocchè io portava invidia agl’insensati, Veggendo la prosperità degli empi. ⁴ Perciocchè non vi sono alcuni legami alla lor morte; E la lor forza è prosperosa. ⁵ Quando gli altri uomini sono in travagli, essi non vi son punto; E non ricevono battiture col rimanente degli uomini. ⁶ Perciò, la superbia li cinge a guisa di collana; La violenza li involge come un vestimento. ⁷ Gli occhi escono loro fuori per lo grasso; Avanzano le immaginazioni del cuor loro. ⁸ Son dissoluti, e per malizia ragionano di oppressare; Parlano da alto. ⁹ Mettono la lor bocca dentro al cielo, E la lor lingua passeggia per la terra. ¹⁰ Perciò, il popolo di Dio riviene a questo, Veggendo che l’acqua gli è spremuta a bere a pien calice, ¹¹ E dice: Come può essere che Iddio sappia ogni cosa, E che vi sia conoscimento nell’Altissimo? ¹² Ecco, costoro son empi, e pur godono pace e tranquillità in perpetuo; Ed accrescono le lor facoltà. ¹³ Indarno adunque in vero ho nettato il mio cuore, Ed ho lavate le mie mani nell’innocenza. ¹⁴ Poichè son battuto tuttodì, Ed ogni mattina il mio gastigamento si rinnuova. ¹⁵ Se io dico: Io ragionerò così; Ecco, io son disleale inverso la generazione de’ tuoi figliuoli. ¹⁶ Io ho adunque pensato di volere intender questo; Ma la cosa mi è parsa molto molesta. ¹⁷ Infino a tanto che sono entrato ne’ santuari di Dio; Ed ho considerato il fine di coloro. ¹⁸ Certo, tu li metti in isdruccioli; Tu li trabocchi in ruine. ¹⁹ Come sono eglino stati distrutti in un momento! Come son venuti meno, e sono stati consumati per casi spaventevoli! ²⁰ Son come un sogno, dopo che l’uomo si è destato; O Signore, quando tu ti risveglierai, tu sprezzerai la lor vana apparenza. ²¹ Quando il mio cuore era inacerbito, Ed io era punto nelle reni; ²² Io era insensato, e non aveva conoscimento; Io era inverso te simile alle bestie. ²³ Ma pure io sono stato del continuo teco; Tu mi hai preso per la man destra. ²⁴ Tu mi condurrai per lo tuo consiglio, E poi mi riceverai in gloria; ²⁵ Chi è per me in cielo, fuor che te? Io non voglio altri che te in terra. ²⁶ La mia carne ed il mio cuore erano venuti meno: Ma Iddio è la rocca del mio cuore, e la mia parte in eterno. ²⁷ Perciocchè, ecco, quelli che si allontanano da te periranno; Tu distruggerai ogni uomo che fornicando si svia da te. ²⁸ Ma quant’è a me, egli mi è buono di accostarmi a Dio; Io ho posta nel Signore Iddio la mia confidanza, Per raccontar tutte le opere sue.

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Salmo di Asaf. Certo, Iddio è buono verso Israele, verso quelli che son puri di cuore. ² Ma, quant’è a me, quasi inciamparono i miei piedi; poco mancò che i miei passi non sdrucciolassero. ³ Poiché io portavo invidia agli orgogliosi, vedendo la prosperità degli empi. ⁴ Poiché per loro non vi son dolori, il loro corpo è sano e pingue. ⁵ Non sono travagliati come gli altri mortali, né son colpiti come gli altri uomini. ⁶ Perciò la superbia li cinge a guisa di collana, la violenza li cuopre a guisa di vestito. ⁷ Dal loro cuore insensibile esce l’iniquità; le immaginazioni del cuor loro traboccano. ⁸ Sbeffeggiano e malvagiamente ragionan d’opprimere; parlano altezzosamente. ⁹ Metton la loro bocca nel cielo, e la loro lingua passeggia per la terra. ¹⁰ Perciò il popolo si volge dalla loro parte, e beve copiosamente alla loro sorgente, ¹¹ e dice: Com’è possibile che Dio sappia ogni cosa, che vi sia conoscenza nell’Altissimo? ¹² Ecco, costoro sono empi: eppure, tranquilli sempre, essi accrescono i loro averi. ¹³ Invano dunque ho purificato il mio cuore, e ho lavato le mie mani nell’innocenza! ¹⁴ Poiché son percosso ogni giorno, e il mio castigo si rinnova ogni mattina. ¹⁵ Se avessi detto: Parlerò a quel modo, ecco, sarei stato infedele alla schiatta de’ tuoi figliuoli. ¹⁶ Ho voluto riflettere per intender questo, ma la cosa mi è parsa molto ardua, ¹⁷ finché non sono entrato nel santuario di Dio, e non ho considerata la fine di costoro. ¹⁸ Certo, tu li metti in luoghi sdrucciolevoli, tu li fai cadere in rovina. ¹⁹ Come sono stati distrutti in un momento, portati via, consumati per casi spaventevoli! ²⁰ Come avviene d’un sogno quand’uno si sveglia, così tu, o Signore, quando ti desterai, sprezzerai la loro vana apparenza. ²¹ Quando il mio cuore s’inacerbiva ed io mi sentivo trafitto internamente, ²² ero insensato e senza conoscimento; io ero verso di te come una bestia. ²³ Ma pure, io resto del continuo con te; tu m’hai preso per la man destra; ²⁴ tu mi condurrai col tuo consiglio, e poi mi riceverai in gloria. ²⁵ Chi ho io in cielo fuori di te? E sulla terra non desidero che te. ²⁶ La mia carne e il mio cuore posson venir meno, ma Dio è la ròcca del mio cuore e la mia parte in eterno. ²⁷ Poiché, ecco, quelli che s’allontanan da te periranno; tu distruggi chiunque, fornicando, ti abbandona. ²⁸ Ma quanto a me, il mio bene è d’accostarmi a Dio; io ho fatto del Signore, dell’Eterno, il mio rifugio, per raccontare, o Dio, tutte le opere tue.

Korean⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ (아삽의 시) 하나님이 참으로 이스라엘 중 마음이 정결한 자에게 선을 행하시나 ² 나는 거의 실족할 뻔 하였고 내 걸음이 미끄러질 뻔 하였으니 ³ 이는 내가 악인의 형통함을 보고 오만한 자를 질시하였음이로다 ⁴ 저희는 죽는 때에도 고통이 없고 그 힘이 건강하며 ⁵ 타인과 같은 고난이 없고 타인과 같은 재앙도 없나니 ⁶ 그러므로 교만이 저희 목걸이요 강포가 저희의 입는 옷이며 ⁷ 살찜으로 저희 눈이 솟아나며 저희 소득은 마음의 소원보다 지나며 ⁸ 저희는 능욕하며 악하게 압제하여 말하며 거만히 말하며 ⁹ 저희 입은 하늘에 두고 저희 혀는 땅에 두루 다니도다 ¹⁰ 그러므로 그 백성이 이리로 돌아와서 잔에 가득한 물을 다 마시며 ¹¹ 말하기를 하나님이 어찌 알랴 지극히 높은 자에게 지식이 있으랴 하도다 ¹² 볼지어다 ! 이들은 악인이라 항상 평안하고 재물은 더 하도다 ¹³ 내가 내 마음을 정히 하며 내 손을 씻어 무죄하다 한 것이 실로 헛되도다 ¹⁴ 나는 종일 재앙을 당하며 아침마다 징책을 보았도다 ¹⁵ 내가 만일 스스로 이르기를 내가 이렇게 말하리라 하였더면 주의 아들들의 시대를 대하여 궤휼을 행하였으리이다 ¹⁶ 내가 어찌면 이를 알까 하여 생각한즉 내게 심히 곤란하더니 ¹⁷ 하나님의 성소에 들어갈 때에야 저희 결국을 내가 깨달았나이다 ¹⁸ 주께서 참으로 저희를 미끄러운 곳에 두시며 파멸에 던지시니 ¹⁹ 저희가 어찌 그리 졸지에 황폐되었는가 놀람으로 전멸하였나이다 ²⁰ 주여, 사람이 깬 후에는 꿈을 무시함같이 주께서 깨신 후에 저희 형상을 멸시하시리이다 ²¹ 내 마음이 산란하며 내 심장이 찔렸나이다 ²² 내가 이같이 우매 무지하니 주의 앞에 짐승이오나 ²³ 내가 항상 주와 함께하니 주께서 내 오른손을 붙드셨나이다 ²⁴ 주의 교훈으로 나를 인도하시고 후에는 영광으로 나를 영접하시리니 ²⁵ 하늘에서는 주 외에 누가 내게 있리요 땅에서는 주 밖에 나의 사모할 자 없나이다 ²⁶ 내 육체와 마음은 쇠잔하나 하나님은 내 마음의 반석이시요 영원한 분깃이시라 ²⁷ 대저 주를 멀리하는 자는 망하리니 음녀 같이 주를 떠난 자를 주께서 다 멸하셨나이다 ²⁸ 하나님께 가까이 함이 내게 복이라 내가 주 여호와를 나의 피난처로 삼아 주의 모든 행사를 전파하리이다

Lithuanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Tikrai geras yra Dievas Izraeliui, tiems, kurių širdis tyra. ² Bet mano kojos vos nepasviro, vos nepaslydo mano žingsniai. ³ Aš pavydėjau kvailiams, matydamas nedorėlių pasisekimą. ⁴ Jie nepatiria kentėjimų mirdami, yra kupini jėgų. ⁵ Jie nevargsta kaip kiti žmonės, jų nepaliečia bėdos. ⁶ Išdidumu ir smurtu jie rengiasi lyg drabužiu. ⁷ Iš riebaus kūno žiūri jų akys, jie turi daugiau, negu geidžia širdis. ⁸ Jie sugedę ir kalba piktai, iš aukšto grasina smurtu. ⁹ Jų burnos dangui grūmoja, o liežuviai vaikštinėja po žemę. ¹⁰ Todėl Jo tauta pritaria jiems ir jų mokslą lyg vandenį geria. ¹¹ Jie sako: “Kaip Dievas gali žinoti?

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Psalm Asafowy. Zaisteć dobry jest Bóg Izraelowi, tym, którzy są czystego serca. ² Ale nogi moje mało się były nie potknęły, a blisko tego było, że mało nie szwankowały kroki moje, ³ Gdym był zawiścią poruszon przeciwko szalonym, widząc szczęście niepobożnych. ⁴ Bo nie mają związków aż do śmierci, ale w całości zostaje siła ich. ⁵ W pracy ludzkiej nie są, a kaźni, jako inni ludzie, nie doznawają. ⁶ Przetoż otoczeni są pychą, jako łańcuchem złotym, a przyodziani okrutnością, jako szatą ozdobną. ⁷ Wystąpiły od tłustości oczy ich, a więcej mają nad pomyślenie serca. ⁸ Rozpuścili się, i mówią złośliwie, o uciśnieniu bardzo hardzie mówią. ⁹ Wystawiają przeciwko niebu usta swe, a język ich krąży po ziemi. ¹⁰ A przetoż na to przychodzi lud jego, gdy się im wody już wierzchem leją, ¹¹ Że mówią:Jakoż ma Bóg o tem wiedzieć? albo mali o tem wiadomość Najwyższy? ¹² Albowiem, oto ci niezbożnymi będąc, mają pokój na świecie, i nabywają bogactw. ¹³ Próżno tedy w czystości chowam ręce moje, a w niewinności serce moje omywam. ¹⁴ Ponieważ mię cały dzień biją, a karanie cierpię na każdy poranek. ¹⁵ Rzekęli: Będę też tak o tem mówił, tedy rodzaj synów twoich rzecze, żem im niepraw. ¹⁶ Chciałemci tego rozumem doścignąć, ale mi się tu trudno zdało; ¹⁷ Ażem wszedł do świątnicy Bożej, a tum porozumiał dokończenie ich. ¹⁸ Zprawdęś ich na miejscach śliskich postawił, a podajesz ich na spustoszenie. ¹⁹ Oto jakoć przychodzą na spustoszenie! niemal w okamgnieniu niszczeją i giną od strachu. ²⁰ Są jako sen temu, co ocucił; Panie! gdy ich obudzisz obraz ich lekce poważysz. ²¹ Gdy zgorzkło serce moje, a nerki moje cierpiały kłucie: ²² Zgłupiałem był, a nicem nie rozumiał, byłem przed tobą jako bydlę. ²³ A wszakże zawżdy byłem z tobą; boś mię trzymał za prawą rękę moję. ²⁴ Według rady swej prowadź mię, a potem do chwały przyjmiesz mię. ²⁵ Kogożbym innego miał na niebie? I na ziemi oprócz ciebie w nikim innym upodobania nie mam. ²⁶ Choć ciało moje, i serce moje ustanie, jednak Bóg jest skałą serca mego, i działem moim na wieki. ²⁷ Gdyż oto ci, którzy się oddalają od ciebie, zginą; wytracasz tych, którzy cudzołożą odstępowaniem od ciebie. ²⁸ Aleć mnie najlepsza jest trzymać się Boga; przetoż pokładam w Panu panującym nadzieję moję, abym opowiadał wszystkie sprawy jego.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Verdadeiramente bom é Deus para com Israel, para com os limpos de coração. ² Quanto a mim, os meus pés quase resvalaram; pouco faltou para que os meus passos escorregassem. ³ Pois eu tinha inveja dos soberbos, ao ver a prosperidade dos ímpios. ⁴ Não há apertos na sua morte; o seu corpo é forte e sadio. ⁵ Não se acham em tribulações como outra gente, nem são afligidos como os demais homens. ⁶ Pelo que a soberba lhes cinge o pescoço como um colar; a violência os cobre como um vestido. ⁷ Os olhos deles estão inchados de gordura; transbordam as fantasias do seu coração. ⁸ Motejam e falam maliciosamente; falam arrogantemente da opressão. ⁹ Põem a sua boca contra os céus, e a sua língua percorre a terra. ¹⁰ Pelo que o povo volta para eles e não acha neles falta alguma. ¹¹ E dizem: Como o sabe Deus? e: Há conhecimento no Altíssimo? ¹² Eis que estes são ímpios; sempre em segurança, aumentam as suas riquezas. ¹³ Na verdade que em vão tenho purificado o meu coração e lavado as minhas mãos na inocência, ¹⁴ pois todo o dia tenho sido afligido, e castigado cada manhã. ¹⁵ Se eu tivesse dito: Também falarei assim; eis que me teria havido traiçoeiramente para com a geração de teus filhos. ¹⁶ Quando me esforçava para compreender isto, achei que era tarefa difícil para mim, ¹⁷ até que entrei no santuário de Deus; então percebi o fim deles. ¹⁸ Certamente tu os pões em lugares escorregadios, tu os lanças para a ruína. ¹⁹ Como caem na desolação num momento! ficam totalmente consumidos de terrores. ²⁰ Como faz com um sonho o que acorda, assim, ó Senhor, quando acordares, desprezarás as suas fantasias. ²¹ Quando o meu espírito se amargurava, e sentia picadas no meu coração, ²² estava embrutecido, e nada sabia; era como animal diante de ti. ²³ Todavia estou sempre contigo; tu me seguras a mão direita. ²⁴ Tu me guias com o teu conselho, e depois me receberás em glória. ²⁵ A quem tenho eu no céu senão a ti? e na terra não há quem eu deseje além de ti. ²⁶ A minha carne e o meu coração desfalecem; do meu coração, porém, Deus é a fortaleza, e o meu quinhão para sempre. ²⁷ Pois os que estão longe de ti perecerão; tu exterminas todos aqueles que se desviam de ti. ²⁸ Mas para mim, bom é aproximar-me de Deus; ponho a minha confiança no Senhor Deus, para anunciar todas as suas obras.

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ En salme av Asaf. Ja, Gud er god mot Israel, mot de rene av hjertet. ² Men jeg - nær hadde mine føtter snublet, på lite nær var mine trin glidd ut. ³ For jeg harmedes over de overmodige da jeg så at det gikk de ugudelige vel. ⁴ For de er fri for lidelser inntil sin død, og deres styrke er vel ved makt. ⁵ De kjenner ikke til nød som andre folk, og de blir ikke plaget som andre mennesker. ⁶ Derfor er overmot deres halssmykke, vold omhyller dem som et klædebon. ⁷ Deres øine står ut av fedme, hjertets tanker bryter frem. ⁸ De håner og taler i ondskap om undertrykkelse; fra det høie taler de. ⁹ De løfter sin munn op til himmelen, og deres tunge farer frem på jorden. ¹⁰ Derfor får de sitt folk til å vende sig om til dem, og vann i overflod suger de i sig*. / {* d.e. de nyter stor lykke.} ¹¹ Og de sier: Hvorledes skulde Gud vite noget? Er det vel kunnskap hos den Høieste? ¹² Se, dette er de ugudelige, og evig trygge vokser de i velmakt. ¹³ Ja, forgjeves har jeg renset mitt hjerte og tvettet mine hender i uskyld; ¹⁴ jeg blev dog plaget hele dagen, og hver morgen kom til mig med tukt. ¹⁵ Dersom jeg hadde sagt: Jeg vil tale således*, se, da hadde jeg vært troløs mot dine barns slekt. / {* SLM 73, 13. 14.} ¹⁶ Og jeg tenkte efter for å forstå dette*; det var en plage i mine øine / {* SLM 73, 3-14.} ¹⁷ - inntil jeg gikk inn i Guds helligdommer og gav akt på deres endelikt. ¹⁸ Ja, på glatte steder setter du dem; du lot dem falle, så de gikk til grunne. ¹⁹ Hvor de blev ødelagt i et øieblikk! De gikk under og tok ende med forferdelse. ²⁰ Likesom en akter for intet en drøm når en har våknet op, således akter du, Herre, deres skyggebillede for intet når du våkner op. ²¹ Når mitt hjerte var bittert, og det stakk mig i mine nyrer, ²² da var jeg ufornuftig og forstod intet; som et dyr var jeg imot dig. ²³ Men jeg blir alltid hos dig, du har grepet min høire hånd. ²⁴ Du leder mig ved ditt råd, og derefter optar du mig i herlighet. ²⁵ Hvem har jeg ellers i himmelen? Og når jeg har dig, har jeg ikke lyst til noget på jorden. ²⁶ Vansmekter enn mitt kjød og mitt hjerte, så er dog Gud mitt hjertes klippe og min del evindelig. ²⁷ For se, de som holder sig borte fra dig, går til grunne; du utrydder hver den som faller fra dig i hor*. / {* d.e. i utroskap bryter pakten med dig.} ²⁸ Men for mig er det godt å holde mig nær til Gud; jeg setter min lit til Herren, Israels Gud, for å fortelle alle dine gjerninger.

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ (Un psalm al lui Asaf.) Da, bun este Dumnezeu cu Israel, cu cei cu inima curată. ² Totuş, era să mi se îndoaie piciorul, şi erau să-mi alunece paşii! ³ Căci mă uitam cu jind la cei nesocotiţi, cînd vedeam fericirea celor răi. ⁴ Într'adevăr, nimic nu -i turbură pînă la moarte, şi trupul le este încărcat de grăsime. ⁵ N'au parte de suferinţele omeneşti, şi nu sînt loviţi ca ceilalţi oameni. ⁶ Deaceea mîndria le slujeşte ca salbă, şi asuprirea este haina care -i înveleşte. ⁷ Li se bulbucă ochii de grăsime, şi au mai mult decît le-ar dori inima. ⁸ Rîd, şi vorbesc cu răutate de asuprire: vorbesc de sus, ⁹ îşi înalţă gura pînă la ceruri, şi limba le cutreieră pămîntul. ¹⁰ Deaceea aleargă lumea la ei, înghite apă din plin, ¹¹ şi zice:,,Ce ar putea să ştie Dumnezeu, şi ce ar putea să cunoască Cel Prea Înalt?`` ¹² Aşa sînt cei răi: totdeauna fericiţi, şi îşi măresc bogăţiile. ¹³ Degeaba dar mi-am curăţit eu inima, şi mi-am spălat mînile în nevinovăţie: ¹⁴ căci în fiecare zi sînt lovit, şi în toate dimineţile sînt pedepsit. ¹⁵ Dacă aş zice:,,Vreau să vorbesc ca ei,`` iată că n'aş fi credincios neamului copiilor Tăi. ¹⁶ M'am gîndit la aceste lucruri ca să le pricep, dar zădarnică mi -a fost truda, ¹⁷ pînă ce am intrat în sfîntul locaş al lui Dumnezeu, şi am luat seama la soarta dela urmă a celor răi. ¹⁸ Da, Tu -i pui în locuri alunecoase, şi -i arunci în prăpăd. ¹⁹ Cum sînt nimiciţi într'o clipă! Sînt perduţi, prăpădiţi printr'un sfîrşit năpraznic. ²⁰ Ca un vis la deşteptare, aşa le lepezi chipul, Doamne, la deşteptarea Ta! ²¹ Cînd mi se amăra inima, şi mă simţeam străpuns în măruntaie, ²² eram prost şi fără judecată, eram ca un dobitoc înaintea Ta. ²³ Însă eu sînt totdeauna cu Tine, Tu m'ai apucat de mîna dreaptă; ²⁴ mă vei călăuzi cu sfatul Tău, apoi mă vei primi în slavă. ²⁵ Pe cine altul am eu în cer afară de Tine? Şi pe pămînt nu-mi găsesc plăcerea în nimeni decît în Tine. ²⁶ Carnea şi inima pot să mi se prăpădească: fiindcă Dumnezeu va fi pururea stînca inimii mele şi partea mea de moştenire. ²⁷ Căci iată că ceice se depărtează de Tine, pier; Tu nimiceşti pe toţi ceice-Ţi sînt necredincioşi. ²⁸ Cît pentru mine, fericirea mea este să mă apropii de Dumnezeu: pe Domnul Dumnezeu Îl fac locul meu de adăpost, ca să povestesc toate lucrările Tale.

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Псалом Асафів. Поправді Бог добрий ізраїлеві, Бог для щиросердих! ² А я, мало не послизнулися ноги мої, мало не посковзнулися стопи мої, ³ бо лихим я завидував, бачивши спокій безбожних, ⁴ бо не мають страждання до смерти своєї, і здорове їхнє тіло, ⁵ на людській роботі нема їх, і разом із іншими людьми не зазнають вони вдарів. ⁶ Тому то пиха їхню шию оздоблює, зодягає їх шата насилля, ⁷ вилазять їм очі від жиру, бажання їхнього серця збулися, ⁸ сміються й злосливо говорять про утиск, говорять бундючно: ⁹ свої уста до неба підносять, а їхній язик по землі походжає!... ¹⁰ Тому то туди Його люди звертаються, і щедро беруть собі воду ¹¹ та й кажуть: Хіба Бог те знає, і чи має Всевишній відомість, ¹² як он ті безбожні й безпечні на світі збільшили багатство своє? ¹³ Направду, надармо очистив я серце своє, і в невинності вимив руки свої, ¹⁴ і ввесь день я побитий, і щоранку покараний... ¹⁵ Коли б я сказав: Буду так говорить, як вони, то спроневірився б я поколінню синів Твоїх. ¹⁶ і роздумував я, щоб пізнати оте, та трудне воно в очах моїх, ¹⁷ аж прийшов я в Божу святиню, і кінець їхній побачив: ¹⁸ направду, Ти їх на слизькому поставив, на спустошення кинув Ти їх! ¹⁹ Як вони в одній хвилі спустошені, згинули, пощезали від страхів! ²⁰ Немов сном по обудженні, Господи, образом їхнім погордиш, мов сном по обудженні! ²¹ Бо болить моє серце, і в нутрі моїм коле, ²² а я немов бидло й не знаю, я перед Тобою худобою став!... ²³ Та я завжди з Тобою, Ти держиш мене за правицю, ²⁴ Ти Своєю порадою водиш мене, і потому до слави Ти візьмеш мене! ²⁵ Хто є мені на небесах, окрім Тебе? А я при Тобі на землі не бажаю нічого! ²⁶ Гине тіло моє й моє серце, та Бог скеля серця мого й моя доля навіки, ²⁷ бо погинуть ось ті, хто бокує від Тебе, понищиш Ти кожного, хто відступить від Тебе! ²⁸ А я, близькість Бога для мене добро, на Владику, на Господа свою певність складаю, щоб звіщати про всі Твої чини!
