| [1]A Psalm of Asaph. Surely God is good to Israel, even to such as are pure in heart. |
[1]מִזְמֹ֗ור לְאָ֫סָ֥ף אַ֤ךְ טֹ֭וב לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֥ל אֱלֹהִ֗ים לְבָרֵ֥י לֵבָֽב׃ |
| [2]But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped. |
[2]וַאֲנִ֗י כִּ֭מְעַט [נָטוּי כ] (נָטָ֣יוּ ק) רַגְלָ֑י כְּ֝אַ֗יִן [שֻׁפְּכָה כ] (שֻׁפְּכ֥וּ ק) אֲשֻׁרָֽי׃ |
| [3]For I was envious at the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. |
[3]כִּֽי־קִ֭נֵּאתִי בַּֽהֹולְלִ֑ים שְׁלֹ֖ום רְשָׁעִ֣ים אֶרְאֶֽה׃ |
| [4]For there are no pangs at their death, and their body is sound. |
[4]כִּ֤י אֵ֖ין חַרְצֻבֹּ֥ות לְמֹותָ֗ם וּבָרִ֥יא אוּלָֽם׃ |
| [5]In the trouble of man they are not; neither are they plagued like men. |
[5]בַּעֲמַ֣ל אֱנֹ֣ושׁ אֵינֵ֑מֹו וְעִם־אָ֝דָ֗ם לֹ֣א יְנֻגָּֽעוּ׃ |
| [6]Therefore pride is as a chain about their neck; violence covereth them as a garment. |
[6]לָ֭כֵן עֲנָקַ֣תְמֹו גַאֲוָ֑ה יַעֲטָףשִׁ֝֗־ית חָמָ֥ס לָֽמֹו׃ |
| [7]Their eyes stand forth from fatness; they are gone beyond the imaginations of their heart. |
[7]יָ֭צָא מֵחֵ֣לֶב עֵינֵ֑מֹו עָ֝בְר֗וּ מַשְׂכִּיֹּ֥ות לֵבָֽב׃ |
| [8]They scoff, and in wickedness u oppression; they speak as if there were none on high. |
[8]יָמִ֤יקוּ ׀ וִידַבְּר֣וּ בְרָ֣ע עֹ֑שֶׁק מִמָּרֹ֥ום יְדַבֵּֽרוּ׃ |
| [9]They have set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. |
[9]שַׁתּ֣וּ בַשָּׁמַ֣יִם פִּיהֶ֑ם וּ֝לְשֹׁונָ֗ם תִּֽהֲלַ֥ךְ בָּאָֽרֶץ׃ |
| [10]Therefore His people return hither; and waters of fullness are drained out by them. |
[10]לָכֵ֤ן ׀ [יָשִׁיב כ] (יָשׁ֣וּב ק) עַמֹּ֣ו הֲלֹ֑ם וּמֵ֥י מָ֝לֵ֗א יִמָּ֥צוּ לָֽמֹו׃ |
| [11]And they say: 'How doth God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?' |
[11]וְֽאָמְר֗וּ אֵיכָ֥ה יָדַֽע־אֵ֑ל וְיֵ֖שׁ דֵּעָ֣ה בְעֶלְיֹֽון׃ |
| [12]Behold, such are the wicked; and they that are always at ease increase riches. |
[12]הִנֵּה־אֵ֥לֶּה רְשָׁעִ֑ים וְשַׁלְוֵ֥י עֹ֝ולָ֗ם הִשְׂגּוּ־חָֽיִל׃ |
| [13]Surely in vain have I cleansed my heart, and washed my hands in innocency; |
[13]אַךְ־רִ֭יק זִכִּ֣יתִי לְבָבִ֑י וָאֶרְחַ֖ץ בְּנִקָּיֹ֣ון כַּפָּֽי׃ |
| [14]For all the day have I been plagued, and my chastisement came every morning. |
[14]וָאֱהִ֣י נָ֭גוּעַ כָּל־הַיֹּ֑ום וְ֝תֹוכַחְתִּ֗י לַבְּקָרִֽים׃ |
| [15]If I had said: 'I will speak thus', behold, I had been faithless to the generation of Thy children. |
[15]אִם־אָ֭מַרְתִּי אֲסַפְּרָ֥ה כְמֹ֑ו הִנֵּ֤ה דֹ֭ור בָּנֶ֣יךָ בָגָֽדְתִּי׃ |
| [16]And when I pondered how I might know this, it was wearisome in mine eyes; |
[16]וָֽ֭אֲחַשְּׁבָה לָדַ֣עַת זֹ֑את עָמָ֖ל [הִיא כ] (ה֣וּא ק) בְעֵינָֽי׃ |
| [17]Until I entered into the sanctuary of God, and considered their end. |
[17]עַד־אָ֭בֹוא אֶל־מִקְדְּשֵׁי־אֵ֑ל אָ֝בִ֗ינָה לְאַחֲרִיתָֽם׃ |
| [18]Surely Thou settest them in slippery places; Thou hurlest them down to utter ruin. |
[18]אַ֣ךְ בַּ֭חֲלָקֹות תָּשִׁ֣ית לָ֑מֹו הִ֝פַּלְתָּ֗ם לְמַשּׁוּאֹֽות׃ |
| [19]How are they become a desolation in a moment! They are wh consumed by terrors. |
[19]אֵ֤יךְ הָי֣וּ לְשַׁמָּ֣ה כְרָ֑גַע סָ֥פוּ תַ֝֗מּוּ מִן־בַּלָּהֹֽות׃ |
| [20]As a dream when one awaketh, so, O Lord, when Thou arousest Thyself, Thou wilt despise their semblance. |
[20]כַּחֲלֹ֥ום מֵהָקִ֑יץ אֲ֝דֹנָי בָּעִ֤יר ׀ צַלְמָ֬ם תִּבְזֶֽה׃ |
| [21]For my heart was in a ferment, and I was pricked in my reins. |
[21]כִּ֭י יִתְחַמֵּ֣ץ לְבָבִ֑י וְ֝כִלְיֹותַ֗י אֶשְׁתֹּונָֽן׃ |
| [22]But I was brutish, and ignorant; I was as a beast before Thee. |
[22]וַאֲנִי־בַ֭עַר וְלֹ֣א אֵדָ֑ע בְּ֝הֵמֹ֗ות הָיִ֥יתִי עִמָּֽךְ׃ |
| [23]Nevertheless I am continually with Thee; Thou holdest my right hand. |
[23]וַאֲנִ֣י תָמִ֣יד עִמָּ֑ךְ אָ֝חַ֗זְתָּ בְּיַד־יְמִינִֽי׃ |
| [24]Thou wilt guide me with Thy counsel, and afterward receive me with glory. |
[24]בַּעֲצָתְךָ֥ תַנְחֵ֑נִי וְ֝אַחַ֗ר כָּבֹ֥וד תִּקָּחֵֽנִי׃ |
| [25]Whom have I in heaven but Thee? And beside Thee I desire none upon earth. |
[25]מִי־לִ֥י בַשָּׁמָ֑יִם וְ֝עִמְּךָ֗ לֹא־חָפַ֥צְתִּי בָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
| [26]My flesh and my heart faileth; but God is the rock of my heart and my portion for ever. |
[26]כָּלָ֥ה שְׁאֵרִ֗י וּלְבָ֫בִ֥י צוּר־לְבָבִ֥י וְחֶלְקִ֗י אֱלֹהִ֥ים לְעֹולָֽם׃ |
| [27]For, lo, they that go far from Thee shall perish; Thou dost destroy all them that go astray from Thee. |
[27]כִּֽי־הִנֵּ֣ה רְחֵקֶ֣יךָ יֹאבֵ֑דוּ הִ֝צְמַ֗תָּה כָּל־זֹונֶ֥ה מִמֶּֽךָּ׃ |
| [28]But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 my refuge, that I may tell of all Thy works. |
[28]וַאֲנִ֤י ׀ קִֽרֲבַ֥ת אֱלֹהִ֗ים לִ֫י־טֹ֥וב שַׁתִּ֤י ׀ בַּאדֹנָ֣י יְהֹוִ֣ה מַחְסִ֑י לְ֝סַפֵּ֗ר כָּל־מַלְאֲכֹותֶֽיךָ׃ |
