1 Ѡ҆конча́шасѧ пѣ̑сни дв҃да, сы́на і҆ессе́ова. Ѱало́мъ а҆са́фꙋ, Ко́ль бл҃гъ бг҃ъ і҆и҃левъ пра̑вымъ се́рдцемъ.
73:1 A Psalm by Asaph. Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.
2 Мои́ же вма́лѣ не подвижа́стѣсѧ но́зѣ: вма́лѣ не пролїѧ́шасѧ стѡпы̀ моѧ̑:
73:2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone. My steps had nearly slipped.
3 ꙗ҆́кѡ возревнова́хъ на беззакѡ́нныѧ, ми́ръ грѣ́шникѡвъ зрѧ̀:
73:3 For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 ꙗ҆́кѡ нѣ́сть восклоне́нїѧ въ сме́рти и҆́хъ и҆ ᲂу҆твержде́нїѧ въ ра́нѣ и҆́хъ:
73:4 For there are no struggles in their death, but their strength is firm.
5 въ трꙋдѣ́хъ человѣ́ческихъ не сꙋ́ть, и҆ съ человѣ̑ки не прїи́мꙋтъ ра́нъ.
73:5 They are free from burdens of men, neither are they plagued like other men.
6 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди ᲂу҆держа̀ ѧ҆̀ горды́нѧ и҆́хъ до конца̀: ѡ҆дѣ́ѧшасѧ непра́вдою и҆ нече́стїемъ свои́мъ.
73:6 Therefore pride is like a chain around their neck. Violence covers them like a garment.
7 И҆зы́детъ ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆з̾ тꙋ́ка непра́вда и҆́хъ: преидо́ша въ любо́вь се́рдца.
73:7 Their eyes bulge with fat. Their minds pass the limits of conceit.
8 Помы́слиша и҆ глаго́лаша въ лꙋка́вствѣ, непра́вдꙋ въ высотꙋ̀ глаго́лаша:
73:8 They scoff and speak with malice. In arrogance, they threaten oppression.
9 положи́ша на небесѝ ᲂу҆ста̀ своѧ̑, и҆ ѧ҆зы́къ и҆́хъ пре́йде по землѝ.
73:9 They have set their mouth in the heavens. Their tongue walks through the earth.
10 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди ѡ҆братѧ́тсѧ лю́дїе моѝ сѣ́мѡ, и҆ дні́е и҆спо́лнени ѡ҆брѧ́щꙋтсѧ въ ни́хъ.
73:10 Therefore their people return to them, and they drink up waters of abundance.
11 И҆ рѣ́ша: ка́кѡ ᲂу҆вѣ́дѣ бг҃ъ; и҆ а҆́ще є҆́сть ра́зꙋмъ въ вы́шнемъ;
73:11 They say, “How does God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?”
12 Сѐ, сі́и грѣ̑шницы и҆ гобзꙋ́ющїи въ вѣ́къ ᲂу҆держа́ша бога́тство.
73:12 Behold, these are the wicked. Being always at ease, they increase in riches.
13 И҆ рѣ́хъ: є҆да̀ всꙋ́е ѡ҆правди́хъ се́рдце моѐ и҆ ᲂу҆мы́хъ въ непови́нныхъ рꙋ́цѣ моѝ,
73:13 Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence,
14 и҆ бы́хъ ꙗ҆́звенъ ве́сь де́нь, и҆ ѡ҆бличе́нїе моѐ на ᲂу҆́треннихъ;
73:14 For all day long I have been plagued, and punished every morning.
15 А҆́ще глаго́лахъ, повѣ́мъ та́кѡ: сѐ, ро́дꙋ сынѡ́въ твои́хъ, є҆мꙋ́же ѡ҆бѣща́хсѧ:
73:15 If I had said, “I will speak thus”, behold, I would have betrayed the generation of your children.
16 и҆ непщева́хъ разꙋмѣ́ти: сїѐ трꙋ́дъ є҆́сть предо мно́ю,
73:16 When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me—
17 до́ндеже вни́дꙋ во ст҃и́ло бж҃їе и҆ разꙋмѣ́ю въ послѣ̑днѧѧ и҆́хъ.
73:17 until I entered God’s sanctuary, and considered their latter end.
18 Ѻ҆ба́че за льщє́нїѧ и҆́хъ положи́лъ є҆сѝ и҆̀мъ ѕла̑ѧ, низложи́лъ є҆сѝ ѧ҆̀, внегда̀ разгордѣ́шасѧ.
73:18 Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction.
19 Ка́кѡ бы́ша въ запꙋстѣ́нїе; внеза́пꙋ и҆счезо́ша, погибо́ша за беззако́нїе своѐ.
73:19 How they are suddenly destroyed! They are completely swept away with terrors.
20 Ꙗ҆́кѡ со́нїе востаю́щагѡ, гдⷭ҇и, во гра́дѣ твое́мъ ѡ҆́бразъ и҆́хъ ᲂу҆ничижи́ши.
73:20 As a dream when one wakes up, so, Lord, when you awake, you will despise their fantasies.
21 Ꙗ҆́кѡ разжже́сѧ се́рдце моѐ, и҆ ᲂу҆трѡ́бы моѧ̑ и҆змѣни́шасѧ:
73:21 For my soul was grieved. I was embittered in my heart.
22 и҆ а҆́зъ ᲂу҆ничиже́нъ, и҆ не разꙋмѣ́хъ, ско́тенъ бы́хъ ᲂу҆ тебє̀.
73:22 I was so senseless and ignorant. I was a brute beast before you.
23 И҆ а҆́зъ вы́нꙋ съ тобо́ю: ᲂу҆держа́лъ є҆сѝ рꙋ́кꙋ деснꙋ́ю мою̀,
73:23 Nevertheless, I am continually with you. You have held my right hand.
24 и҆ совѣ́томъ твои́мъ наста́вилъ мѧ̀ є҆сѝ, и҆ со сла́вою прїѧ́лъ мѧ̀ є҆сѝ.
73:24 You will guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
25 Что́ бо мѝ є҆́сть на нб҃сѝ; и҆ ѿ тебє̀ что̀ восхотѣ́хъ на землѝ;
73:25 Whom do I have in heaven? There is no one on earth whom I desire besides you.
26 И҆счезѐ се́рдце моѐ и҆ пло́ть моѧ̀, бж҃е се́рдца моегѡ̀, и҆ ча́сть моѧ̀, бж҃е, во вѣ́къ.
73:26 My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
27 Ꙗ҆́кѡ сѐ, ᲂу҆далѧ́ющїи себѐ ѿ тебє̀ поги́бнꙋтъ: потреби́лъ є҆сѝ всѧ́каго любодѣ́ющаго ѿ тебє̀.
73:27 For, behold, those who are far from you shall perish. You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to you.
28 Мнѣ́ же прилѣплѧ́тисѧ бг҃ови бла́го є҆́сть, полага́ти на гдⷭ҇а ᲂу҆пова́нїе моѐ, возвѣсти́ти мѝ всѧ̑ хвалы̑ твоѧ̑, во вратѣ́хъ дще́ре сїѡ́ни.
73:28 But it is good for me to come close to God. I have made the Lord Yahweh my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 73.

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm LXXII)

    indeed this Psalm's title is fore-noted: but things are spoken of therein which could not apply to that Salomon king of Israel after the flesh, according to those things which holy Scripture speaketh concerning him: but they can most pertinently apply to the Lord Christ.

    But whither ascend ye, when ye are on high, and set your mouth against the heavens? Descend that ye may ascend, and ascend to God.

  3. Quotes verse 73:28 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book X, Chapters 4–6)

    … and since works of mercy have no other object than the relief of distress or the conferring of happiness, and since there is no happiness apart from that good of which it is said, "It is good for me to be very near to God," it follows that the whole redeemed city, that is to say, the congregation or community …

  4. Quotes verse 73:28 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XII, Chapters 7–9)

    … love of God is shed abroad in their hearts by the Holy Ghost, which is given unto them." And that not only of men, but primarily and principally of angels it is true, as it is written, "It is good to draw near to God." And those who have this good in common, have, both with Him to whom they …
