span data-lang="jpn" data-trans="kyb" data-ref="psa.73.1" class="versetxt"> 1 神は正しい者にむかい、心の清い者にむかって、まことに恵みふかい。2 しかし、わたしは、わたしの足がつまずくばかり、わたしの歩みがすべるばかりであった。3 これはわたしが、悪しき者の栄えるのを見て、その高ぶる者をねたんだからである。4 彼らには苦しみがなく、その身はすこやかで、つやがあり、5 ほかの人々のように悩むことがなく、ほかの人々のように打たれることはない。6 それゆえ高慢は彼らの首飾となり、暴力は衣のように彼らをおおっている。7 彼らは肥え太って、その目はとびいで、その心は愚かな思いに満ちあふれている。8 彼らはあざけり、悪意をもって語り、高ぶって、しえたげを語る。9 彼らはその口を天にさからって置き、その舌は地をあるきまわる。10 それゆえ民は心を変えて彼らをほめたたえ、彼らのうちにあやまちを認めない。11 彼らは言う、「神はどうして知り得ようか、いと高き者に知識があろうか」と。12 見よ、これらは悪しき者であるのに、常に安らかで、その富が増し加わる。13 まことに、わたしはいたずらに心をきよめ、罪を犯すことなく手を洗った。14 わたしはひねもす打たれ、朝ごとに懲らしめをうけた。15 もしわたしが「このような事を語ろう」と言ったなら、わたしはあなたの子らの代を誤らせたであろう。16 しかし、わたしがこれを知ろうと思いめぐらしたとき、これはわたしにめんどうな仕事のように思われた。17 わたしが神の聖所に行って、彼らの最後を悟り得たまではそうであった。18 まことにあなたは彼らをなめらかな所に置き、彼らを滅びに陥らせられる。19 なんと彼らはまたたくまに滅ぼされ、恐れをもって全く一掃されたことであろう。20 あなたが目をさまして彼らの影をかろしめられるとき、彼らは夢みた人の目をさました時のようである。21 わたしの魂が痛み、わたしの心が刺されたとき、22 わたしは愚かで悟りがなく、あなたに対しては獣のようであった。23 けれどもわたしは常にあなたと共にあり、あなたはわたしの右の手を保たれる。24 あなたはさとしをもってわたしを導き、その後わたしを受けて栄光にあずからせられる。25 わたしはあなたのほかに、だれを天にもち得よう。地にはあなたのほかに慕うものはない。26 わが身とわが心とは衰える。しかし神はとこしえにわが心の力、わが嗣業である。27 見よ、あなたに遠い者は滅びる。あなたは、あなたにそむく者を滅ぼされる。28 しかし神に近くあることはわたしに良いことである。わたしは主なる神をわが避け所として、あなたのもろもろのみわざを宣べ伝えるであろう。

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they say, how doth God know?.... Owning there is a God, but questioning his knowledge; for the words are not an inquiry about the way and manner of his knowing things; which is not by the senses, as hearing and seeing; eyes and ears are improperly ascribed to him; nor in a discursive way, by reasoning, and inferring one thing from another; for he knows things intuitively, beholding all things in his own eternal mind and will: but they are a question about his knowledge itself, as follows:

and is their knowledge in the most High? they acknowledge God to be the most High, and yet doubt whether there is knowledge in him; and indeed the higher with respect to place, and at the greater distance he was from them, the less they imagined he knew of affairs below; see

Job 22:13 for the knowledge called in question is to be understood of his providential notice of human affairs, which they thought he did not concern himself with, as being below his regard; see Ezekiel 9:9 and therefore concluded that their acts of oppression and violence, and their insolent words against God and men, would pass unobserved, and with impunity. If these are the words of good men, of the people of God under affliction, they are to be considered as under a temptation from their affliction, and the prosperity of the wicked, to call in question the providence of God in the government of the world, and his love to them, which is sometimes expressed by his knowledge of them, Psalms 1:6.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And they say - His people say. The connection demands this interpretation. The meaning is, that his people, as they return again and again to this subject Psalms 73:10, are constrained to put this question. They are compelled by these facts to start such painful inquiries about God; and distressing as the inquiries are, and as are the doubts which they involve, these thoughts will pass through their mind, even though to avoid giving needless pain to those who have no such perplexities and difficulties they keep these thoughts to themselves, Psalms 73:15.

How doth God know? - That is, How can these facts be reconciled with God’s omniscience? How can it be that he sees all this, and yet suffers it to occur, or that he does not interpose to prevent it? Is it not a fair inference from these facts that God does “not” see them, and that he is “not” an Omniscient Being? Can it be explained, can it be believed, that God sees all this, and that he calmly looks on, and does nothing to prevent it? If he sees it, why does he not interpose and put an end to it? These perplexities were not confined to the psalmist. They are such as have been felt by good people in all ages; and no one yet has been able to furnish a solution of them that is wholly free from difficulty.

And is there knowledge in the Most High? - Can there be in God a knowledge of these facts? Are we not driven to the conclusion that he must be ignorant of them? for, if he knew them, would he not interpose to prevent them? How “can” it be consistent with the idea that he “knows” them, and “sees” them, that he does “not” interpose, and that he suffers these things to take place without any attempt to check such evils? Who, even now, can answer these questions?

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 73:11. They say, How doth God know? — My people are so stumbled with the prosperity of the wicked, that they are ready in their temptation to say, "Surely, God cannot know these things, or he would never dispense his favours thus." Others consider these words as the saying of the wicked: "We may oppress these people as we please, and live as we list; God knows nothing about it."
