73

1 מִזְמ֗וֹר לְאָ֫סָ֥ף אַ֤ךְ ט֖וֹב לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֥ל אֱלֹהִ֗ים לְבָרֵ֥י לֵבָֽב׃ A Psalm of Asaph. Surely God is good to Israel, even to such as are pure in heart.

2 וַאֲנִ֗י כִּ֭מְעַט (נטוי) [נָטָ֣יוּ] רַגְלָ֑י כְּ֝אַ֗יִן (שפכה) [שֻׁפְּכ֥וּ] אֲשֻׁרָֽי׃ But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.

3 כִּֽי־קִ֭נֵּאתִי בַּהוֹלְלִ֑ים שְׁל֖וֹם רְשָׁעִ֣ים אֶרְאֶֽה׃ For I was envious at the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

4 כִּ֤י אֵ֖ין חַרְצֻבּ֥וֹת לְמוֹתָ֗ם וּבָרִ֥יא אוּלָֽם׃ For there are no pangs at their death, and their body is sound.

5 בַּעֲמַ֣ל אֱנ֣וֹשׁ אֵינֵ֑מוֹ וְעִם־אָ֝דָ֗ם לֹ֣א יְנֻגָּֽעוּ׃ In the trouble of man they are not; neither are they plagued like men.

6 לָ֭כֵן עֲנָקַ֣תְמוֹ גַאֲוָ֑ה יַעֲטָף־שִׁ֝֗ית חָמָ֥ס לָֽמוֹ׃ Therefore pride is as a chain about their neck; violence covereth them as a garment.

7 יָ֭צָא מֵחֵ֣לֶב עֵינֵ֑מוֹ עָ֝בְר֗וּ מַשְׂכִּיּ֥וֹת לֵבָֽב׃ Their eyes stand forth from fatness; they are gone beyond the imaginations of their heart.

8 יָמִ֤יקוּ ׀ וִידַבְּר֣וּ בְרָ֣ע עֹ֑שֶׁק מִמָּר֥וֹם יְדַבֵּֽרוּ׃ They scoff, and in wickedness utter oppression; they speak as if there were none on high.

9 שַׁתּ֣וּ בַשָּׁמַ֣יִם פִּיהֶ֑ם וּ֝לְשׁוֹנָ֗ם תִּהֲלַ֥ךְ בָּאָֽרֶץ׃ They have set their mouth against the heavens, And their tongue walketh through the earth.

10 לָכֵ֤ן ׀ (ישיב) [יָשׁ֣וּב] עַמּ֣וֹ הֲלֹ֑ם וּמֵ֥י מָ֝לֵ֗א יִמָּ֥צוּ לָֽמוֹ׃ Therefore His people return hither; And waters of fullness are drained out by them.

11 וְֽאָמְר֗וּ אֵיכָ֥ה יָדַֽע־אֵ֑ל וְיֵ֖שׁ דֵּעָ֣ה בְעֶלְיֽוֹן׃ And they say: 'How doth God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?'

12 הִנֵּה־אֵ֥לֶּה רְשָׁעִ֑ים וְשַׁלְוֵ֥י ע֝וֹלָ֗ם הִשְׂגּוּ־חָֽיִל׃ Behold, such are the wicked; And they that are always at ease increase riches.

13 אַךְ־רִ֭יק זִכִּ֣יתִי לְבָבִ֑י וָאֶרְחַ֖ץ בְּנִקָּי֣וֹן כַּפָּֽי׃ Surely in vain have I cleansed my heart, And washed my hands in innocency;

14 וָאֱהִ֣י נָ֭גוּעַ כׇּל־הַיּ֑וֹם וְ֝תוֹכַחְתִּ֗י לַבְּקָרִֽים׃ For all the day have I been plagued, And my chastisement came every morning.

15 אִם־אָ֭מַרְתִּי אֲסַפְּרָ֥ה כְמ֑וֹ הִנֵּ֤ה ד֖וֹר בָּנֶ֣יךָ בָגָֽדְתִּי׃ If I had said: 'I will speak thus', Behold, I had been faithless to the generation of Thy children.

16 וָ֭אֲחַשְּׁבָה לָדַ֣עַת זֹ֑את עָמָ֖ל (היא) [ה֣וּא] בְעֵינָֽי׃ And when I pondered how I might know this, It was wearisome in mine eyes;

17 עַד־אָ֭בוֹא אֶל־מִקְדְּשֵׁי־אֵ֑ל אָ֝בִ֗ינָה לְאַחֲרִיתָֽם׃ Until I entered into the sanctuary of God, And considered their end.

18 אַ֣ךְ בַּ֭חֲלָקוֹת תָּשִׁ֣ית לָ֑מוֹ הִ֝פַּלְתָּ֗ם לְמַשּׁוּאֽוֹת׃ Surely Thou settest them in slippery places; Thou hurlest them down to utter ruin.

19 אֵ֤יךְ הָי֣וּ לְשַׁמָּ֣ה כְרָ֑גַע סָ֥פוּ תַ֝֗מּוּ מִן־בַּלָּהֽוֹת׃ How are they become a desolation in a moment! They are wholly consumed by terrors.

20 כַּחֲל֥וֹם מֵהָקִ֑יץ אֲ֝דֹנָ֗י בָּעִ֤יר ׀ צַלְמָ֬ם תִּבְזֶֽה׃ As a dream when one awaketh, So, O Lord, when Thou arousest Thyself, Thou wilt despise their semblance.

21 כִּ֭י יִתְחַמֵּ֣ץ לְבָבִ֑י וְ֝כִלְיוֹתַ֗י אֶשְׁתּוֹנָֽן׃ For my heart was in a ferment, And I was pricked in my reins. .

22 וַאֲנִי־בַ֭עַר וְלֹ֣א אֵדָ֑ע בְּ֝הֵמ֗וֹת הָיִ֥יתִי עִמָּֽךְ׃ But I was brutish, and ignorant; I was as a beast before Thee.

23 וַאֲנִ֣י תָמִ֣יד עִמָּ֑ךְ אָ֝חַ֗זְתָּ בְּיַד־יְמִינִֽי׃ Nevertheless I am continually with Thee; Thou holdest my right hand.

24 בַּעֲצָתְךָ֥ תַנְחֵ֑נִי וְ֝אַחַ֗ר כָּב֥וֹד תִּקָּחֵֽנִי׃ Thou wilt guide me with Thy counsel, And afterward receive me with glory.

25 מִי־לִ֥י בַשָּׁמָ֑יִם וְ֝עִמְּךָ֗ לֹא־חָפַ֥צְתִּי בָאָֽרֶץ׃ Whom have I in heaven but Thee? And beside Thee I desire none upon earth.

26 כָּלָ֥ה שְׁאֵרִ֗י וּלְבָ֫בִ֥י צוּר־לְבָבִ֥י וְחֶלְקִ֗י אֱלֹהִ֥ים לְעוֹלָֽם׃ My flesh and my heart faileth; But God is the rock of my heart and my portion for ever.

27 כִּֽי־הִנֵּ֣ה רְחֵקֶ֣יךָ יֹאבֵ֑דוּ הִ֝צְמַ֗תָּה כׇּל־זוֹנֶ֥ה מִמֶּֽךָּ׃ For, lo, they that go far from Thee shall perish; Thou dost destroy all them that go astray from Thee.

28 וַאֲנִ֤י ׀ קִ֥רְבַ֥ת אֱלֹהִ֗ים לִ֫י־ט֥וֹב שַׁתִּ֤י ׀ בַּאדֹנָ֣י יֱהֹוִ֣ה מַחְסִ֑י לְ֝סַפֵּ֗ר כׇּל־מַלְאֲכוֹתֶֽיךָ׃ {פ}
But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, That I may tell of all Thy works.

אך - הרשעים בעולם הזה כמפותים בדברי חלקות ולבסוף יהיו למשואות, כמו: שואה ומשואה לתוהו ואשר איננו בדרך רשעים להשמדם בסופם.

Surely. What you have assigned to them is only a temporary extension in this world, to bring them down to the world to come, just as one walks on a smooth path that appears to him as a good way, but with a slight stumble, his feet will falter and he will fall down. Likewise, in this world, their goodness does not endure over time, and even in their death, their goodness does not remain for their children after them. This is what is said in the following verse that follows it.
