73:1 |
Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.
|
73:2 |
But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold.
|
73:3 |
For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
|
73:4 |
They have no struggles; their bodies are healthy and strong.
|
73:5 |
They are free from the burdens common to man; they are not plagued by human ills.
|
73:6 |
Therefore pride is their necklace; they clothe themselves with violence.
|
73:7 |
From their callous hearts comes iniquity; the evil conceits of their minds know no limits.
|
73:8 |
They scoff, and speak with malice; in their arrogance they threaten oppression.
|
73:9 |
Their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession of the earth.
|
73:10 |
Therefore their people turn to them and drink up waters in abundance.
|
73:11 |
They say, "How can God know? Does the Most High have knowledge?"
|
73:12 |
This is what the wicked are like-- always carefree, they increase in wealth.
|
73:13 |
Surely in vain have I kept my heart pure; in vain have I washed my hands in innocence.
|
73:14 |
All day long I have been plagued; I have been punished every morning.
|
73:15 |
If I had said, "I will speak thus," I would have betrayed your children.
|
73:16 |
When I tried to understand all this, it was oppressive to me
|
73:17 |
till I entered the sanctuary of God; then I understood their final destiny.
|
73:18 |
Surely you place them on slippery ground; you cast them down to ruin.
|
73:19 |
How suddenly are they destroyed, completely swept away by terrors!
|
73:20 |
As a dream when one awakes, so when you arise, O Lord, you will despise them as fantasies.
|
73:21 |
When my heart was grieved and my spirit embittered,
|
73:22 |
I was senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before you.
|
73:23 |
Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand.
|
73:24 |
You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory.
|
73:25 |
Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
|
73:26 |
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
|
73:27 |
Those who are far from you will perish; you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.
|
73:28 |
But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds.
