Psalmien 73
Raamattu 1933/38
73 Aasafin virsi. Totisesti, Jumala on hyvä Israelille, niille, joilla on puhdas sydän.
2 Mutta minun jalkani olivat vähällä kompastua, askeleeni olivat aivan liukahtaa.
3 Sillä minussa nousi kateus ylvästelijöitä kohtaan, kun minä näin jumalattomien menestyvän.
4 Sillä he ovat vaivoista vapaat kuolemaansa asti, he ovat voimakkaat ja lihavat.
5 Eivät he koe muitten kuolevaisten tuskia, eikä heitä vaivata niinkuin muita ihmisiä.
6 Sentähden on ylpeys heillä kaulakoristeena, väkivalta on puku, joka heidät verhoaa.
7 Heidän silmänsä pullistuvat ulos heidän lihavuudestaan, heidän sydämensä kuvittelut kulkevat valtoimina.
8 He pilkkaavat ja puhuvat väkivallan puheita pahuudessansa, he puhuvat kuin korkeuksista.
9 Heidän suunsa tavoittelee taivasta, ja heidän kielensä kulkee pitkin maata.
10 Sentähden heidän kansansa liittyy heihin ja särpii vettä kyllälti.
11 Ja he sanovat: "Kuinka Jumala sen tietäisi, onko tietoa Korkeimmalla?"
12 Katso, nämä ovat jumalattomat; kuitenkin he elävät ainaisessa rauhassa ja rikastuvat yhäti.
13 Turhaan minä olen pitänyt sydämeni puhtaana ja pessyt käteni viattomuudessa:
14 minua vaivataan joka aika, ja minä saan joka aamu kuritusta.
15 Jos olisin sanonut: "Noin minäkin puhun", katso, niin minä olisin ollut petollinen koko sinun lastesi sukua kohtaan.
16 Minä mietin päästäkseni tästä selvyyteen; mutta se oli minulle ylen vaikeata,
17 kunnes minä pääsin sisälle Jumalan pyhiin salaisuuksiin ja käsitin, mikä heidän loppunsa on oleva.
18 Totisesti, sinä panet heidät liukkaalle, perikatoon sinä heidät syökset.
19 Kuinka he joutuvatkaan äkisti turmioon! He hukkuvat, heidän loppunsa on kauhistava.
20 Niinkuin unen käy herätessä, niin sinä, Herra, kun heräjät, heidän valhekuvansa hylkäät.
21 Kun minun sydämeni katkeroitui ja minun munaskuihini pisti,
22 silloin minä olin järjetön enkä mitään älynnyt, olin sinun edessäsi kuin nauta.
23 Kuitenkin minä pysyn alati sinun tykönäsi, sinä pidät minua kiinni oikeasta kädestäni.
24 Sinä talutat minua neuvosi mukaan ja korjaat minut viimein kunniaan.
25 Ketä muuta minulla olisi taivaassa! Ja kun sinä olet minun kanssani, en minä mistään maan päällä huoli.
26 Vaikka minun ruumiini ja sieluni nääntyisi, Jumala on minun sydämeni kallio ja minun osani iankaikkisesti.
27 Sillä katso, jotka sinusta eriävät, ne hukkuvat, sinä tuhoat kaikki, jotka haureudessa sinusta luopuvat.
28 Mutta minun onneni on olla Jumalaa lähellä, minä panen turvani Herraan, Herraan, kertoakseni kaikkia sinun tekojasi.

Psalms 73–89
Psalm 73
A psalm of Asaph.
1 Surely God is good to Israel,
to those who are pure in heart.(A)
2 But as for me, my feet had almost slipped;(B)
I had nearly lost my foothold.(C)
3 For I envied(D) the arrogant
when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.(E)
4 They have no struggles;
their bodies are healthy and strong.[a]
5 They are free(F) from common human burdens;
they are not plagued by human ills.
6 Therefore pride(G) is their necklace;(H)
they clothe themselves with violence.(I)
7 From their callous hearts(J) comes iniquity[b];
their evil imaginations have no limits.
8 They scoff, and speak with malice;(K)
with arrogance(L) they threaten oppression.(M)
9 Their mouths lay claim to heaven,
and their tongues take possession of the earth.
10 Therefore their people turn to them
and drink up waters in abundance.[c]
11 They say, “How would God know?
Does the Most High know anything?”
13 Surely in vain(P) I have kept my heart pure
and have washed my hands in innocence.(Q)
14 All day long I have been afflicted,(R)
and every morning brings new punishments.
15 If I had spoken out like that,
I would have betrayed your children.
16 When I tried to understand(S) all this,
it troubled me deeply
17 till I entered the sanctuary(T) of God;
then I understood their final destiny.(U)
18 Surely you place them on slippery ground;(V)
you cast them down to ruin.(W)
19 How suddenly(X) are they destroyed,
completely swept away(Y) by terrors!
20 They are like a dream(Z) when one awakes;(AA)
when you arise, Lord,
you will despise them as fantasies.(AB)
21 When my heart was grieved
and my spirit embittered,
22 I was senseless(AC) and ignorant;
I was a brute beast(AD) before you.
23 Yet I am always with you;
you hold me by my right hand.(AE)
24 You guide(AF) me with your counsel,(AG)
and afterward you will take me into glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you?(AH)
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.(AI)
26 My flesh and my heart(AJ) may fail,(AK)
but God is the strength(AL) of my heart
and my portion(AM) forever.

Psalm 73
King James Version
Psalm 73
King James Version
73 Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.
2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.
7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
13 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.
14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.
16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.
18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.
19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
20 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.
21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.
23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy works.
