诗73:7 他们的罪孽是出于麻木的心（“他们的罪孽是出于麻木的心”按照《马索拉抄本》应作“他们的眼睛因体胖而凸出”；现参照《七十士译本》翻译），他们心里的恶念泛滥。

诗73:13 As for me, I have made my heart clean to no purpose, washing my hands in righteousness;
诗73:14 因为我终日受伤害，每天早晨受惩罚。
诗73:14 For I have been troubled all the day; every morning have I undergone punishment.
诗73:15 如果我心里说：“我要说这样的话”，我就是对你这一代的众儿女不忠了。
诗73:15 If I would make clear what it is like, I would say, You are false to the generation of your children.
诗73:16 我思想要明白这事，我就看为烦恼；
诗73:16 When my thoughts were turned to see the reason of this, it was a weariness in my eyes;
诗73:17 直到我进了 神的圣所，才明白他们的结局。
诗73:17 Till I went into God's holy place, and saw the end of the evil-doers.
诗73:18 你实在把他们安放在滑地，使他们倒下、灭亡。

诗73:22 我是愚昧无知的；我在你面前就像畜类一般。
诗73:22 As for me, I was foolish, and without knowledge; I was like a beast before you.
诗73:23 但是，我仍常与你同在；你紧握着我的右手。
诗73:23 But still I am ever with you; you have taken me by my right hand.
诗73:24 你要以你的训言引领我，以后还要接我到荣耀里去。
诗73:24 Your wisdom will be my guide, and later you will put me in a place of honour.
诗73:25 除你以外，在天上，我还有谁呢？除你以外，在地上，我也无所爱慕。
