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

If I say, I will speak thus,.... Either as the wicked do,

Psalms 73:8 or rather as he had thought in his own mind,

Psalms 73:13, wherefore he kept it all to himself, and did not make known to others the reasonings of his mind, and the temptations he laboured under:

behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children; of whom care should be taken, above all things, that they be not offended,

Matthew 18:6, or "should condemn"; as the Targum; or as Jarchi,

"I should make them transgressors, and wicked persons;''

should represent them as if they were men hated and rejected of God, because of their afflictions: the words may be rendered, "behold the generation of thy children, I have transgressed" q; by giving way to the above temptation, which might have been prevented by considering the church, children, and people of God, and the care he has taken of them, the regard he has shown to them, and the preservation of them in all ages. The words are an apostrophe to God, who has children by adopting grace, and which appear so by their regeneration; and there is a generation of them in all ages; when one goes, another comes; there is always a seed, a spiritual offspring, to serve him, which is counted for a generation.

q הנה דור בניך בגדתי "ecce generatio filiorum tuorum, praevaricatus sum", Pagninus, Montanus.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

If I say, I will speak thus - If I should resolve to give expression to my feelings. If I should utter all that is passing in my mind and my heart. It is implied here that he had “not” given utterance to these thoughts, but had confined them to his own bosom. He knew how they might be regarded by others; how others might be led to feel as if no confidence was to be placed in God; how this might suggest thoughts to them which would not otherwise occur to them, and which would only tend to fill their minds with distress; how such thoughts might unsettle the foundations of their faith, their peace, their hope, and their joy.

I should offend against the generation of thy children - The word rendered “I should offend,” means to treat perfidiously, or in a faithless or treacherous manner. Then it means, “to deal falsely with.” And this is the meaning here; “I should not be “true” to them; I should not be “faithful” to their real interests; I should do that which would be equivalent to dealing with them in a false and perfidious manner.” The idea is, that he “ought” not to say or do anything which would tend to lessen their confidence in God, or which would suggest to their minds grounds of distrust in God, or which would disturb their peace and hope. This was alike an act of justice and benevolence on his part. Whatever might be his own troubles and doubts, he had no “right” to fill their minds with doubts and distrust of God; and he felt that, as it was desirable that the minds of others should not be harassed as his own had been, it could not be kind to suggest such thoughts.

This, however, should not forbid anyone from mentioning such difficulties to another for the purpose of having them removed. If they occur to the mind, as they may to the minds of any, however sincere and pious they may be, nothing can make it improper that they should be laid before one of greater age, or longer experience, or wider opportunities of knowledge, in order that the difficulties may be solved. Nothing can make it improper for a child to have recourse thus to a parent - or a member of a church, to a pastor. If, however, these doubts can be calmed down otherwise, it is better that they should be mentioned to no one. Some little additional strength may be given them even by dwelling on them long enough to mention them to another, and by putting them in such a form that they would be understood by another; and the true way is to go to God with them by prayer, and to spread them out before the mercy-seat. Prayer, and a careful study of the word of God may calm them down without their being suggested to any human being. At any rate, they should not be suggested at all to the young, or to those with fewer advantages of education, or of less experience than we have had, on whom the only effect would be to fill their minds with doubts which they could not solve - and with thoughts tending only to perplexity and unbelief - such as would never have occurred to themselves.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 73:15. If I say, I will speak thus — I have at last discovered that I have reasoned incorrectly; and that I have the uniform testimony of all thy children against me. From generation to generation they have testified that the Judge of all the earth does right; they have trusted in thee, and were never confounded. They also met with afflictions and sore trials, but thou didst bring them safely through all, didst sustain them in the worst, and sanctifiedst the whole to their eternal good.
