Salmos 73
Bíblia Portuguesa Mundial
1Certamente Deus é bom para com Israel, para com os puros de coração.
2Quanto a mim, porém, meus pés quase tropeçaram; meus passos quase escorregaram.
3Pois eu tive inveja dos arrogantes, quando vi a prosperidade dos ímpios.
4Pois não há sofrimento na morte deles, mas a sua força é firme.
5Eles estão livres dos fardos dos homens; nem são afligidos como os outros homens.
6Por isso, o orgulho é como um colar em seu pescoço; a violência os cobre como uma veste.
7Seus olhos saltam de gordura; suas mentes ultrapassam os limites da presunção.
8Eles zombam e falam com malícia; com arrogância, ameaçam opressão.
9Eles puseram sua boca nos céus; a língua deles percorre a terra.
10Por isso, o povo deles se volta para eles, e bebem águas em abundância.
11Eles dizem: “Como Deus saberia? Há conhecimento no Altíssimo?”
12Eis que estes são os ímpios; estando sempre tranquilos, eles aumentam suas riquezas.
13Certamente foi em vão que purifiquei o meu coração, e lavei as minhas mãos na inocência.
14Pois o dia todo tenho sido afligido, e castigado a cada manhã.
15Se eu tivesse dito: “Falarei dessa maneira”, eis que eu teria traído a geração dos teus filhos.
16Quando tentei entender isso, foi doloroso demais para mim —
17até que entrei no santuário de Deus, e compreendi o destino final deles.
18Certamente tu os colocas em lugares escorregadios; tu os lanças para a destruição.
19Como são destruídos de repente! São totalmente varridos por terrores.
20Como um sonho quando se acorda, assim, Senhor, quando despertares, desprezarás as fantasias deles.
21Pois a minha alma se entristeceu, e fiquei amargurado em meu coração.
22Eu era tão insensato e ignorante; eu era como um animal irracional diante de ti.
23Contudo, estou sempre contigo; tu seguras a minha mão direita.
24Tu me guiarás com o teu conselho, e depois me receberás na glória.
25Quem mais tenho eu no céu? Não há ninguém na terra que eu deseje além de ti.
26A minha carne e o meu coração desfalecem, mas Deus é a força do meu coração e a minha porção para sempre.
27Pois, eis que os que se afastam de ti perecerão; tu destróis todos os que te são infiéis.
28Mas, para mim, bom é me aproximar de Deus. Fiz do Senhor DEUS o meu refúgio, para que eu possa anunciar todas as tuas obras.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Salmo de Asaph. CIERTAMENTE bueno es Dios á Israel, á los limpios de corazón.
2Mas yo, casi se deslizaron mis pies; por poco resbalaron mis pasos.
3Porque tuve envidia de los insensatos, viendo la prosperidad de los impíos.
4Porque no hay ataduras para su muerte; antes su fortaleza está entera.
5No están ellos en el trabajo humano; ni son azotados con los otros hombres.
6Por tanto soberbia los corona: cúbrense de vestido de violencia.
7Sus ojos están salidos de gruesos: logran con creces los antojos del corazón.
8Soltáronse, y hablan con maldad de hacer violencia; hablan con altanería.
9Ponen en el cielo su boca, y su lengua pasea la tierra.
10Por eso su pueblo vuelve aquí, y aguas de lleno les son exprimidas.
11Y dicen: ¿Cómo sabe Dios? ¿y hay conocimiento en lo alto?
12He aquí estos impíos, sin ser turbados del mundo, alcanzaron riquezas.
13Verdaderamente en vano he limpiado mi corazón, y lavado mis manos en inocencia;
14Pues he sido azotado todo el día, y empezaba mi castigo por las mañanas.
15Si dijera yo, Discurriré de esa suerte; he aquí habría negado la nación de tus hijos:
16Pensaré pues para saber esto: es á mis ojos duro trabajo,
17Hasta que venido al santuario de Dios, entenderé la postrimería de ellos.
18Ciertamente los has puesto en deslizaderos; en asolamientos los harás caer.
19¡Cómo han sido asolados! ¡cuán en un punto! Acabáronse, fenecieron con turbaciones.
20Como sueño del que despierta, así, Señor, cuando despertares, menospreciarás sus apariencias.
21Desazonóse á la verdad mi corazón, y en mis riñones sentía punzadas.
22Mas yo era ignorante, y no entendía: era como una bestia acerca de ti.
23Con todo, yo siempre estuve contigo: trabaste de mi mano derecha.
24Hasme guiado según tu consejo, y después me recibirás en gloria.
25¿A quién tengo yo en los cielos? Y fuera de ti nada deseo en la tierra.
26Mi carne y mi corazón desfallecen: mas la roca de mi corazón y mi porción es Dios para siempre.
27Porque he aquí, los que se alejan de ti perecerán: tú cortarás á todo aquel que fornicando, de ti se aparta.
28Y en cuanto á mí, el acercarme á Dios es el bien: he puesto en el Señor Jehová mi esperanza, para contar todas tus obras.
King James Version
1Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.
2But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
3For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
5They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
6Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.
7Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
8They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
9They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
10Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
11And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
12Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
13Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.
14For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
15If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.
16When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
17Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.
18Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.
19How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
20As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.
21Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
22So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.
23Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
24Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
25Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
26My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
27For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
28But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
World English Bible
1Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.
2But as for me, my feet were almost gone. My steps had nearly slipped.
3For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4For there are no struggles in their death, but their strength is firm.
5They are free from burdens of men, neither are they plagued like other men.
6Therefore pride is like a chain around their neck. Violence covers them like a garment.
7Their eyes bulge with fat. Their minds pass the limits of conceit.
8They scoff and speak with malice. In arrogance, they threaten oppression.
9They have set their mouth in the heavens. Their tongue walks through the earth.
10Therefore their people return to them, and they drink up waters of abundance.
11They say, “How does God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?”
12Behold, these are the wicked. Being always at ease, they increase in riches.
13Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence,
14For all day long I have been plagued, and punished every morning.
15If I had said, “I will speak thus”, behold, I would have betrayed the generation of your children.
16When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me—
17until I entered God’s sanctuary, and considered their latter end.
18Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction.
19How they are suddenly destroyed! They are completely swept away with terrors.
20As a dream when one wakes up, so, Lord, when you awake, you will despise their fantasies.
21For my soul was grieved. I was embittered in my heart.
22I was so senseless and ignorant. I was a brute beast before you.
23Nevertheless, I am continually with you. You have held my right hand.
24You will guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
25Whom do I have in heaven? There is no one on earth whom I desire besides you.
26My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
27For, behold, those who are far from you shall perish. You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to you.
28But it is good for me to come close to God. I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.
