Words of envying the arrogant until entering God’s sanctuary
악인의 형통함을 보고 오만한 자를 질시하다가 하나님의 성소에서 그 결국을 깨달았다는 말
Psalm 73:1–28: the text opens, “Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.” The speaker (“I”) says, “But as for me, my feet were almost gone. My steps had nearly slipped. For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.” Of the wicked the speaker goes on, “For there are no struggles in their death, but their strength is firm.” Verses 73:10–11 say, “Therefore their people return to them, and they drink up waters of abundance. They say, ‘How does God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?’” The speaker says, “Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence, For all day long I have been plagued, and punished every morning.” The speaker also says, “When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me— until I entered God’s sanctuary, and considered their latter end.” The speaker goes on, “Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction.” Then, “Nevertheless, I am continually with you. You have held my right hand. You will guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.” Then, “Whom do I have in heaven? There is no one on earth whom I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” The speaker ends, “But 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.” WEB opens 73:1 with the title “A Psalm by Asaph.”; the Korean Revised Version text this collection holds has no title in 73:1.

1A Psalm by Asaph. Surely 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.
