1 псалом Асафа. Как благ Бог к Израилю, к чистым сердцем!
73:1 A Psalm by Asaph. Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.
2 А я - едва не пошатнулись ноги мои, едва не поскользнулись стопы мои, -
73:2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone. My steps had nearly slipped.
3 я позавидовал безумным, видя благоденствие нечестивых,
73:3 For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 ибо им нет страданий до смерти их, и крепки силы их;
73:4 For there are no struggles in their death, but their strength is firm.
5 на работе человеческой нет их, и с прочими людьми не подвергаются ударам.
73:5 They are free from burdens of men, neither are they plagued like other men.
6 Оттого гордость, как ожерелье, обложила их, и дерзость, как наряд, одевает их;
73:6 Therefore pride is like a chain around their neck. Violence covers them like a garment.
7 выкатились от жира глаза их, бродят помыслы в сердце;
73:7 Their eyes bulge with fat. Their minds pass the limits of conceit.
8 над всем издеваются, злобно разглашают клевету, говорят свысока;
73:8 They scoff and speak with malice. In arrogance, they threaten oppression.
9 поднимают к небесам уста свои, и язык их расхаживает по земле.
73:9 They have set their mouth in the heavens. Their tongue walks through the earth.
10 Потому туда же обращается народ Его, и пьют воду полною чашею,
73:10 Therefore their people return to them, and they drink up waters of abundance.
11 и говорят: "как узнает Бог? и есть ли ведение у Вышнего?"
73:11 They say, “How does God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?”
12 И вот, эти нечестивые благоденствуют в веке сем, умножают богатство.
73:12 Behold, these are the wicked. Being always at ease, they increase in riches.
13 [И я сказал:] так не напрасно ли я очищал сердце мое и омывал в невинности руки мои,
73:13 Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence,
14 и подвергал себя ранам всякий день и обличениям всякое утро?
73:14 For all day long I have been plagued, and punished every morning.
15 Но если бы я сказал: "буду рассуждать так", - то я виновен был бы пред родом сынов Твоих.
73:15 If I had said, “I will speak thus”, behold, I would have betrayed the generation of your children.
16 И думал я, как бы уразуметь это, но это трудно было в глазах моих,
73:16 When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me—
17 доколе не вошел я во святилище Божие и не уразумел конца их.
73:17 until I entered God’s sanctuary, and considered their latter end.
18 Так! на скользких путях поставил Ты их и низвергаешь их в пропасти.
73:18 Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction.
19 Как нечаянно пришли они в разорение, исчезли, погибли от ужасов!
73:19 How they are suddenly destroyed! They are completely swept away with terrors.
20 Как сновидение по пробуждении, так Ты, Господи, пробудив их, уничтожишь мечты их.
73:20 As a dream when one wakes up, so, Lord, when you awake, you will despise their fantasies.
21 Когда кипело сердце мое, и терзалась внутренность моя,
73:21 For my soul was grieved. I was embittered in my heart.
22 тогда я был невежда и не разумел; как скот был я пред Тобою.
73:22 I was so senseless and ignorant. I was a brute beast before you.
23 Но я всегда с Тобою: Ты держишь меня за правую руку;
73:23 Nevertheless, I am continually with you. You have held my right hand.
24 Ты руководишь меня советом Твоим и потом примешь меня в славу.
73:24 You will guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
25 Кто мне на небе? и с Тобою ничего не хочу на земле.
73:25 Whom do I have in heaven? There is no one on earth whom I desire besides you.
26 Изнемогает плоть моя и сердце мое: Бог твердыня сердца моего и часть моя вовек.
73:26 My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
27 Ибо вот, удаляющие себя от Тебя гибнут; Ты истребляешь всякого отступающего от Тебя.
73:27 For, behold, those who are far from you shall perish. You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to you.
28 А мне благо приближаться к Богу! На Господа Бога я возложил упование мое, чтобы возвещать все дела Твои [во вратах дщери Сионовой].
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.

  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 …
