1 {A Psalm of Asaph.} Truly God is good to Israel, to such as are of a pure 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 נָטָ֣יוּ רַגְלָ֑י כְּ֝אַ֗יִן שֻׁפְּכָה שֻׁפְּכ֥וּ אֲשֻׁרָֽי׃

3 For I was envious at the arrogant, seeing the prosperity of the wicked.

3 כִּֽי־קִ֭נֵּאתִי בַּֽהֹולְלִ֑ים שְׁלֹ֖ום רְשָׁעִ֣ים אֶרְאֶֽה׃

4 For they have no pangs in their death, and their body is well nourished;

4 כִּ֤י אֵ֖ין חַרְצֻבֹּ֥ות לְמֹותָ֗ם וּבָרִ֥יא אוּלָֽם׃

5 They have not the hardships of mankind, neither are they plagued like [other] men:

5 בַּעֲמַ֣ל אֱנֹ֣ושׁ אֵינֵ֑מֹו וְעִם־אָ֝דָ֗ם לֹ֣א יְנֻגָּֽעוּ׃

6 Therefore pride encompasseth them as a neck-chain, violence covereth them [as] a garment;

6 לָ֭כֵן עֲנָקַ֣תְמֹו גַאֲוָ֑ה יַעֲטָףשִ֝֗־ית חָמָ֥ס לָֽמֹו׃

7 Their eyes stand out from fatness, they exceed the imaginations of their heart:

7 יָ֭צָא מֵחֵ֣לֶב עֵינֵ֑מֹו עָ֝בְר֗וּ מַשְׂכִּיֹּ֥ות לֵבָֽב׃

8 They mock and speak wickedly of oppression, they speak loftily:

8 יָמִ֤יקוּ׀ וִידַבְּר֣וּ בְרָ֣ע עֹ֑שֶׁק מִמָּרֹ֥ום יְדַבֵּֽרוּ׃

9 They set their mouth in the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.

9 שַׁתּ֣וּ בַשָּׁמַ֣יִם פִּיהֶ֑ם וּ֝לְשֹׁונָ֗ם תִּֽהֲלַ֥ךְ בָּאָֽרֶץ׃

10 Therefore his people turn hither, and waters in fulness are wrung out to them.

10 לָכֵ֤ן׀ יָשִׁיב יָשׁ֣וּב עַמֹּ֣ו הֲלֹ֑ם וּמֵ֥י מָ֝לֵ֗א יִמָּ֥צוּ לָֽמֹו׃

11 And they say, How can ùGod know, and is there knowledge in the Most High?

11 וְֽאָמְר֗וּ אֵיכָ֥ה יָדַֽע־אֵ֑ל וְיֵ֖שׁ דֵּעָ֣ה בְעֶלְיֹֽון׃

12 Behold, these are the wicked, and they prosper in the world: they heap up riches.

12 הִנֵּה־אֵ֥לֶּה רְשָׁעִ֑ים וְשַׁלְוֵ֥י עֹ֝ולָ֗ם הִשְׂגּוּ־חָֽיִל׃

13 Truly have I purified my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency:

13 אַךְ־רִ֭יק זִכִּ֣יתִי לְבָבִ֑י וָאֶרְחַ֖ץ בְּנִקָּיֹ֣ון כַּפָּֽי׃

14 For all the day have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.

14 וָאֱהִ֣י נָ֭גוּעַ כָּל־הַיֹּ֑ום וְ֝תֹוכַחְתִּ֗י לַבְּקָרִֽים׃

15 If I said, I will speak thus, behold, I should be faithless to the generation of thy children.

15 אִם־אָ֭מַרְתִּי אֲסַפְּרָ֥ה כְמֹ֑ו הִנֵּ֤ה דֹ֭ור בָּנֶ֣יךָ בָגָֽדְתִּי׃

16 When I thought to be able to know this, it was a grievous task in mine eyes;

16 וָֽ֭אֲחַשְּׁבָה לָדַ֣עַת זֹ֑את עָמָ֖ל הִיא ה֣וּא בְעֵינָֽי׃

17 Until I went into the sanctuaries of ùGod; [then] understood I their end.

17 עַד־אָ֭בֹוא אֶל־מִקְדְּשֵׁי־אֵ֑ל אָ֝בִ֗ינָה לְאַחֲרִיתָֽם׃

18 Truly thou settest them in slippery places, thou castest them down in ruins.

18 אַ֣ךְ בַּ֭חֲלָקֹות תָּשִׁ֣ית לָ֑מֹו הִ֝פַּלְתָּ֗ם לְמַשּׁוּאֹֽות׃

19 How are they suddenly made desolate! they pass away, consumed with terrors.

19 אֵ֤יךְ הָי֣וּ לְשַׁמָּ֣ה כְרָ֑גַע סָ֥פוּ תַ֝֗מּוּ מִן־בַּלָּהֹֽות׃

20 As a dream, when one awaketh, wilt thou, Lord, on arising despise their image.

20 כַּחֲלֹ֥ום מֵהָקִ֑יץ אֲ֝דֹנָי בָּעִ֤יר׀ צַלְמָ֬ם תִּבְזֶֽה׃

21 When my heart was in a ferment, and I was pricked in my reins,

21 כִּ֭י יִתְחַמֵּ֣ץ לְבָבִ֑י וְ֝כִלְיֹותַ֗י אֶשְׁתֹּונָֽן׃

22 Then I was brutish and knew nothing; I was [as] a beast with thee.

22 וַאֲנִי־בַ֭עַר וְלֹ֣א אֵדָ֑ע בְּ֝הֵמֹ֗ות הָיִ֥יתִי עִמָּֽךְ׃

23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden my right hand;

23 וַאֲנִ֣י תָמִ֣יד עִמָּ֑ךְ אָ֝חַ֗זְתָּ בְּיַד־יְמִינִֽי׃

24 Thou wilt guide me by thy counsel, and after the glory, thou wilt receive me.

24 בַּעֲצָתְךָ֥ תַנְחֵ֑נִי וְ֝אַחַ֗ר כָּבֹ֥וד תִּקָּחֵֽנִי׃

25 Whom have I in the heavens? and there is none upon earth I desire beside thee.

25 מִי־לִ֥י בַשָּׁמָ֑יִם וְ֝עִמְּךָ֗ לֹא־חָפַ֥צְתִּי בָאָֽרֶץ׃

26 My flesh and my heart faileth: God is the rock of my heart and my portion for ever.

26 כָּלָ֥ה שְׁאֵרִ֗י וּלְבָ֫בִ֥י צוּר־לְבָבִ֥י וְחֶלְקִ֗י אֱלֹהִ֥ים לְעֹולָֽם׃

27 For behold, they that are far from thee shall perish; thou destroyest every one that goeth a whoring from thee.

27 כִּֽי־הִנֵּ֣ה רְחֵקֶ֣יךָ יֹאבֵ֑דוּ הִ֝צְמַ֗תָּה כָּל־זֹונֶ֥ה מִמֶּֽךָּ׃

28 But as for me, it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord Jehovah, that I may declare all thy works.

28 וַאֲנִ֤י׀ קִֽרֲבַ֥ת אֱלֹהִ֗ים לִ֫י־טֹ֥וב שַׁתִּ֤י׀ בַּאדֹנָ֣י יְהֹוִ֣ה מַחְסִ֑י לְ֝סַפֵּ֗ר כָּל־מַלְאֲכֹותֶֽיךָ׃
