시편 73편 BSB
- 1 Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.
- 2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; my steps had nearly slipped.
- 3 For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
- 4 They have no struggle in their death; their bodies are well-fed.
- 5 They are free of the burdens others carry; they are not afflicted like other men.
- 6 Therefore pride is their necklace; a garment of violence covers them.
- 7 From their prosperity proceeds iniquity; the imaginations of their hearts run wild.
- 8 They mock and speak with malice; with arrogance they threaten oppression.
- 9 They set their mouths against the heavens, and their tongues strut across the earth.
- 10 So their people return to this place and drink up waters in abundance.
- 11 The wicked say, “How can God know? Does the Most High have knowledge?”
- 12 Behold, these are the wicked— always carefree as they increase their wealth.
- 13 Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure; in innocence I have washed my hands.
- 14 For I am afflicted all day long and punished every morning.
- 15 If I had said, “I will speak this way,” then I would have betrayed Your children.
- 16 When I tried to understand all this, it was troublesome in my sight
- 17 until I entered God’s sanctuary; then I discerned their end.
- 18 Surely You set them on slick ground; You cast them down into ruin.
- 19 How suddenly they are laid waste, completely swept away by terrors!
- 20 Like one waking from a dream, so You, O Lord, awaken and despise their form.
- 21 When my heart was grieved and I was pierced within,
- 22 I was senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before You.
- 23 Yet I am always with You; You hold my right hand.
- 24 You guide me with Your counsel, and later receive me in glory.
- 25 Whom have I in heaven but You? And on earth I desire no one besides You.
- 26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
- 27 Those far from You will surely perish; You destroy all who are unfaithful to You.
- 28 But as for me, it is good to draw near to God. I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may proclaim all Your works.
