תהילים 73

תנ"ך - מקרא על פי המסורה	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 מִזְמֹור לְאָסָף אַךְ טֹוב לְיִשְׂרָאֵל אֱלֹהִים לְבָרֵי לֵבָב	1 A Psalm of Asaph. Truly God is good to the upright, to those who are pure in heart.
2 וַאֲנִי כִּמְעַט [נָטוּי כ] (נָטָיוּ ק) רַגְלָי כְּאַיִן [שֻׁפְּכָה כ] (שֻׁפְּכוּ ק) אֲשֻׁרָי	2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled, my steps had well nigh slipped.
3 כִּי־קִנֵּאתִי בַּהֹולְלִים שְׁלֹום רְשָׁעִים אֶרְאֶה	3 For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 כִּי אֵין חַרְצֻבֹּות לְמֹותָם וּבָרִיא אוּלָם	4 For they have no pangs; their bodies are sound and sleek.
5 בַּעֲמַל אֱנֹושׁ אֵינֵמֹו וְעִם־אָדָם לֹא יְנֻגָּעוּ	5 They are not in trouble as other men are; they are not stricken like other men.
6 לָכֵן עֲנָקַתְמֹו גַאֲוָה יַעֲטָףשִׁ־ית חָמָס לָמֹו	6 Therefore pride is their necklace; violence covers them as a garment.
7 יָצָא מֵחֵלֶב עֵינֵמֹו עָבְרוּ מַשְׂכִּיֹּות לֵבָב	7 Their eyes swell out with fatness, their hearts overflow with follies.
8 יָמִיקוּ ׀ וִידַבְּרוּ בְרָע עֹשֶׁק מִמָּרֹום יְדַבֵּרוּ	8 They scoff and speak with malice; loftily they threaten oppression.
9 שַׁתּוּ בַשָּׁמַיִם פִּיהֶם וּלְשֹׁונָם תִּהֲלַךְ בָּאָרֶץ	9 They set their mouths against the heavens, and their tongue struts through the earth.
10 לָכֵן ׀ [יָשִׁיב כ] (יָשׁוּב ק) עַמֹּו הֲלֹם וּמֵי מָלֵא יִמָּצוּ לָמֹו	10 Therefore the people turn and praise them; and find no fault in them.
11 וְאָמְרוּ אֵיכָה יָדַע־אֵל וְיֵשׁ דֵּעָה בְעֶלְיֹון	11 And they say, "How can God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?"
12 הִנֵּה־אֵלֶּה רְשָׁעִים וְשַׁלְוֵי עֹולָם הִשְׂגּוּ־חָיִל	12 Behold, these are the wicked; always at ease, they increase in riches.
13 אַךְ־רִיק זִכִּיתִי לְבָבִי וָאֶרְחַץ בְּנִקָּיֹון כַּפָּי	13 All in vain have I kept my heart clean and washed my hands in innocence.
14 וָאֱהִי נָגוּעַ כָּל־הַיֹּום וְתֹוכַחְתִּי לַבְּקָרִים	14 For all the day long I have been stricken, and chastened every morning.
15 אִם־אָמַרְתִּי אֲסַפְּרָה כְמֹו הִנֵּה דֹור בָּנֶיךָ בָגָדְתִּי	15 If I had said, "I will speak thus," I would have been untrue to the generation of thy children.
16 וָאֲחַשְּׁבָה לָדַעַת זֹאת עָמָל [הִיא כ] (הוּא ק) בְעֵינָי	16 But when I thought how to understand this, it seemed to me a wearisome task,
17 עַד־אָבֹוא אֶל־מִקְדְּשֵׁי־אֵל אָבִינָה לְאַחֲרִיתָם	17 until I went into the sanctuary of God; then I perceived their end.
18 אַךְ בַּחֲלָקֹות תָּשִׁית לָמֹו הִפַּלְתָּם לְמַשּׁוּאֹות	18 Truly thou dost set them in slippery places; thou dost make them fall to ruin.
19 אֵיךְ הָיוּ לְשַׁמָּה כְרָגַע סָפוּ תַמּוּ מִן־בַּלָּהֹות	19 How they are destroyed in a moment, swept away utterly by terrors!
20 כַּחֲלֹום מֵהָקִיץ אֲדֹנָי בָּעִיר ׀ צַלְמָם תִּבְזֶה	20 They are like a dream when one awakes, on awaking you despise their phantoms.
21 כִּי יִתְחַמֵּץ לְבָבִי וְכִלְיֹותַי אֶשְׁתֹּונָן	21 When my soul was embittered, when I was pricked in heart,
22 וַאֲנִי־בַעַר וְלֹא אֵדָע בְּהֵמֹות הָיִיתִי עִמָּךְ	22 I was stupid and ignorant, I was like a beast toward thee.
23 וַאֲנִי תָמִיד עִמָּךְ אָחַזְתָּ בְּיַד־יְמִינִי	23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee; thou dost hold my right hand.
24 בַּעֲצָתְךָ תַנְחֵנִי וְאַחַר כָּבֹוד תִּקָּחֵנִי	24 Thou dost guide me with thy counsel, and afterward thou wilt receive me to glory.
25 מִי־לִי בַשָּׁמָיִם וְעִמְּךָ לֹא־חָפַצְתִּי בָאָרֶץ	25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? And there is nothing upon earth that I desire besides thee.
26 כָּלָה שְׁאֵרִי וּלְבָבִי צוּר־לְבָבִי וְחֶלְקִי אֱלֹהִים לְעֹולָם	26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever.
27 כִּי־הִנֵּה רְחֵקֶיךָ יֹאבֵדוּ הִצְמַתָּה כָּל־זֹונֶה מִמֶּךָּ	27 For lo, those who are far from thee shall perish; thou dost put an end to those who are false to thee.
28 וַאֲנִי ׀ קִרֲבַת אֱלֹהִים לִי־טֹוב שַׁתִּי ׀ בַּאדֹנָי יְהֹוִה מַחְסִי לְסַפֵּר כָּל־מַלְאֲכֹותֶיךָ	28 But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all thy works.
