STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 מִזְמֹור לְאָסָף אַךְ טֹוב לְיִשְׂרָאֵל אֱלֹהִים לְבָרֵי לֵבָב	1 A psalm for Asaph. How good is God to Israel, to them that are of a right heart!
2 וַאֲנִי כִּמְעַט [נָטוּי כ] (נָטָיוּ ק) רַגְלָי כְּאַיִן [שֻׁפְּכָה כ] (שֻׁפְּכוּ ק) אֲשֻׁרָי	2 But my feet were almost moved; my steps had well nigh slipped.
3 כִּי־קִנֵּאתִי בַּהֹולְלִים שְׁלֹום רְשָׁעִים אֶרְאֶה	3 Because I had a zeal on occasion of the wicked, seeing the prosperity of sinners.
4 כִּי אֵין חַרְצֻבֹּות לְמֹותָם וּבָרִיא אוּלָם	4 For there is no regard to their death, nor is there strength in their stripes.
5 בַּעֲמַל אֱנֹושׁ אֵינֵמֹו וְעִם־אָדָם לֹא יְנֻגָּעוּ	5 They are not in the labour of men: neither shall they be scourged like other men. B Therefore pride hath held them fast: they are covered with their iniquity and their wickedness.
6 לָכֵן עֲנָקַתְמֹו גַאֲוָה יַעֲטָףשִׁ־ית חָמָס לָמֹו	6 dummy verses inserted by amos
7 יָצָא מֵחֵלֶב עֵינֵמֹו עָבְרוּ מַשְׂכִּיֹּות לֵבָב	7 Their iniquity hath come forth, as it were from fatness: they have passed into the affection of the heart.
8 יָמִיקוּ ׀ וִידַבְּרוּ בְרָע עֹשֶׁק מִמָּרֹום יְדַבֵּרוּ	8 They have thought and spoken wickedness: they have spoken iniquity on high.
9 שַׁתּוּ בַשָּׁמַיִם פִּיהֶם וּלְשֹׁונָם תִּהֲלַךְ בָּאָרֶץ	9 They have set their mouth against heaven: and their tongue hath passed through the earth.
10 לָכֵן ׀ [יָשִׁיב כ] (יָשׁוּב ק) עַמֹּו הֲלֹם וּמֵי מָלֵא יִמָּצוּ לָמֹו	10 Therefore will my people return here and full days shall be found in them.
11 וְאָמְרוּ אֵיכָה יָדַע־אֵל וְיֵשׁ דֵּעָה בְעֶלְיֹון	11 And they said: How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
12 הִנֵּה־אֵלֶּה רְשָׁעִים וְשַׁלְוֵי עֹולָם הִשְׂגּוּ־חָיִל	12 Behold these are sinners; and yet abounding in the world they have obtained riches.
13 אַךְ־רִיק זִכִּיתִי לְבָבִי וָאֶרְחַץ בְּנִקָּיֹון כַּפָּי	13 And I said: Then have I in vain justified my heart, and washed my hands among the innocent.
14 וָאֱהִי נָגוּעַ כָּל־הַיֹּום וְתֹוכַחְתִּי לַבְּקָרִים	14 And I have been scourged all the day; and my chastisement hath been in the mornings.
15 אִם־אָמַרְתִּי אֲסַפְּרָה כְמֹו הִנֵּה דֹור בָּנֶיךָ בָגָדְתִּי	15 If I said: I will speak thus; behold I should condemn the generation of thy children.
16 וָאֲחַשְּׁבָה לָדַעַת זֹאת עָמָל [הִיא כ] (הוּא ק) בְעֵינָי	16 I studied that I might know this thing, it is a labour in my sight:
17 עַד־אָבֹוא אֶל־מִקְדְּשֵׁי־אֵל אָבִינָה לְאַחֲרִיתָם	17 Until I go into the sanctuary of God, and understand concerning their last ends.
18 אַךְ בַּחֲלָקֹות תָּשִׁית לָמֹו הִפַּלְתָּם לְמַשּׁוּאֹות	18 But indeed for deceits thou hast put it to them: when they were lifted up thou hast cast them down.
19 אֵיךְ הָיוּ לְשַׁמָּה כְרָגַע סָפוּ תַמּוּ מִן־בַּלָּהֹות	19 How are they brought to desolation? they have suddenly ceased to be: they have perished by reason of their iniquity.
20 כַּחֲלֹום מֵהָקִיץ אֲדֹנָי בָּעִיר ׀ צַלְמָם תִּבְזֶה	20 As the dream of them that awake, O Lord; so in thy city thou shalt bring their image to nothing.
21 כִּי יִתְחַמֵּץ לְבָבִי וְכִלְיֹותַי אֶשְׁתֹּונָן	21 For my heart hath been inflamed, and my reins have been changed:
22 וַאֲנִי־בַעַר וְלֹא אֵדָע בְּהֵמֹות הָיִיתִי עִמָּךְ	22 and I am brought to nothing, and I knew not.
23 וַאֲנִי תָמִיד עִמָּךְ אָחַזְתָּ בְּיַד־יְמִינִי	23 I am become as a beast before thee: and I am always with thee.
24 בַּעֲצָתְךָ תַנְחֵנִי וְאַחַר כָּבֹוד תִּקָּחֵנִי	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 מִי־לִי בַשָּׁמָיִם וְעִמְּךָ לֹא־חָפַצְתִּי בָאָרֶץ	25 For what have I in heaven? and besides thee what do I desire upon earth?
26 כָּלָה שְׁאֵרִי וּלְבָבִי צוּר־לְבָבִי וְחֶלְקִי אֱלֹהִים לְעֹולָם	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 כִּי־הִנֵּה רְחֵקֶיךָ יֹאבֵדוּ הִצְמַתָּה כָּל־זֹונֶה מִמֶּךָּ	27 For behold they that go far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that are disloyal to thee.
28 וַאֲנִי ׀ קִרֲבַת אֱלֹהִים לִי־טֹוב שַׁתִּי ׀ בַּאדֹנָי יְהֹוִה מַחְסִי לְסַפֵּר כָּל־מַלְאֲכֹותֶיךָ	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.
