Psalm 73 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

The End of the Wicked Contrasted with That of the Righteous.

Psa 73:1A Psalm of Asaph. Only -- good to Israel is God, to the clean of heart. And I -- as a little thing, My feet have been turned aside,

Psa 73:2

Psa 73:2As nothing, have my steps slipped, For I have been envious of the boastful,

Psa 73:3

Psa 73:3The peace of the wicked I see, That there are no bands at their death,

Psa 73:4

Psa 73:4And their might is firm.

Psa 73:5

Psa 73:5In the misery of mortals they are not, And with common men they are not plagued.

Psa 73:6

Psa 73:6Therefore hath pride encircled them, Violence covereth them as a dress.

Psa 73:7

Psa 73:7Their eye hath come out from fat. The imaginations of the heart transgressed;

Psa 73:8

Psa 73:8They do corruptly, And they speak in the wickedness of oppression, From on high they speak.

Psa 73:9

Psa 73:9They have set in the heavens their mouth, And their tongue walketh in the earth.

Psa 73:10

Psa 73:10Therefore do His people return hither, And waters of fulness are wrung out to them.

Psa 73:11

Psa 73:11And they have said, 'How hath God known? And is there knowledge in the Most High?'

Psa 73:12

Psa 73:12Lo, these are the wicked and easy ones of the age, They have increased strength.

Psa 73:13

Psa 73:13Only -- a vain thing! I have purified my heart, And I wash in innocency my hands,

Psa 73:14

Psa 73:14And I am plagued all the day, And my reproof is every morning.

Psa 73:15

Psa 73:15If I have said, 'I recount thus,' Lo, a generation of Thy sons I have deceived.

Psa 73:16

Psa 73:16And I think to know this, Perverseness it is in mine eyes,

Psa 73:17

Psa 73:17Till I come in to the sanctuaries of God, I attend to their latter end.

Psa 73:18

Psa 73:18Only, in slippery places Thou dost set them, Thou hast caused them to fall to desolations.

Psa 73:19

Psa 73:19How have they become a desolation as in a moment, They have been ended -- consumed from terrors.

Psa 73:20

Psa 73:20As a dream from awakening, O Lord, In awaking, their image Thou despisest.

Psa 73:21

Psa 73:21For my heart doth show itself violent, And my reins prick themselves,

Psa 73:22

Psa 73:22And I am brutish, and do not know. A beast I have been with Thee.

Psa 73:23

Psa 73:23And I am continually with Thee, Thou hast laid hold on my right hand.

Psa 73:24

Psa 73:24With Thy counsel Thou dost lead me, And after honour dost receive me.

Psa 73:25

Psa 73:25Whom have I in the heavens? And with Thee none I have desired in earth.

Psa 73:26

Psa 73:26Consumed hath been my flesh and my heart, The rock of my heart and my portion is God to the age.

Psa 73:27

Psa 73:27For, lo, those far from Thee do perish, Thou hast cut off every one, Who is going a whoring from Thee.

Psa 73:28

Psa 73:28And I -- nearness of God to me is good, I have placed in the Lord Jehovah my refuge, To recount all Thy works!
