Psalms 73

1 A Psalm of Asaph. Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.

1 神实在恩待以色列那些清心的人！

2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; my steps had nearly slipped.

2 至于我，我的脚几乎失闪； 我的脚险些滑跌。

3 For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

3 我见恶人和狂傲人享平安就心怀不平。

4 They have no struggle in their death; their bodies are well-fed.

4 他们死的时候没有疼痛； 他们的力气却也壮实。

5 They are free of the burdens others carry; they are not afflicted like other men.

5 他们不像别人受苦， 也不像别人遭灾。

6 Therefore pride is their necklace; a garment of violence covers them.

6 所以，骄傲如链子戴在他们的项上； 强暴像衣裳遮住他们的身体。

7 From their prosperity proceeds iniquity; the imaginations of their hearts run wild.

7 他们的眼睛因体胖而凸出； 他们所得的，过于心里所想的。

8 They mock and speak with malice; with arrogance they threaten oppression.

8 他们讥笑人，凭恶意说欺压人的话； 他们说话自高。

9 They set their mouths against the heavens, and their tongues strut across the earth.

9 他们的口亵渎上天； 他们的舌毁谤全地。

10 So their people return to this place and drink up waters in abundance.

10 所以 神的民归到这里， 喝尽了满杯的苦水。

11 The wicked say, “How can God know? Does the Most High have knowledge?”

11 他们说： 神怎能晓得？ 至高者岂有知识呢？

12 Behold, these are the wicked—always carefree as they increase their wealth.

12 看哪，这就是恶人； 他们既是常享安逸，财宝便加增。

13 Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure; in innocence I have washed my hands.

13 我实在徒然洁净了我的心， 徒然洗手表明无辜。

14 For I am afflicted all day long and punished every morning.

14 因为，我终日遭灾难； 每早晨受惩治。

15 If I had said, “I will speak this way,” then I would have betrayed Your children.

15 我若说，我要这样讲， 这就是以奸诈待你的众子。

16 When I tried to understand all this, it was troublesome in my sight

16 我思索怎能明白这事， 眼看实系为难，

17 until I entered God’s sanctuary; then I discerned their end.

17 等我进了 神的圣所， 思想他们的结局。

18 Surely You set them on slick ground; You cast them down into ruin.

18 你实在把他们安在滑地， 使他们掉在沉沦之中。

19 How suddenly they are laid waste, completely swept away by terrors!

19 他们转眼之间成了何等的荒凉！ 他们被惊恐灭尽了。

20 Like one waking from a dream, so You, O Lord, awaken and despise their form.

20 人睡醒了，怎样看梦； 主啊，你醒了也必照样轻看他们的影像。

21 When my heart was grieved and I was pierced within,

21 因而，我心里发酸， 肺腑被刺。

22 I was senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before You.

22 我这样愚昧无知， 在你面前如畜类一般。

23 Yet I am always with You; You hold my right hand.

23 然而，我常与你同在； 你搀着我的右手。

24 You guide me with Your counsel, and later receive me in glory.

24 你要以你的训言引导我， 以后必接我到荣耀里。

25 Whom have I in heaven but You? And on earth I desire no one besides You.

25 除你以外，在天上我有谁呢？ 除你以外，在地上我也没有所爱慕的。

26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

26 我的肉体和我的心肠衰残； 但 神是我心里的力量， 又是我的福分，直到永远。

27 Those far from You will surely perish; You destroy all who are unfaithful to You.

27 远离你的，必要死亡； 凡离弃你行邪淫的，你都灭绝了。

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.

28 但我亲近 神是与我有益； 我以主耶和华为我的避难所， 好叫我述说你一切的作为。
