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

For there are no bands in their death,.... Nothing that binds and straitens them, afflicts and distresses them; they have no pain of mind nor of body, but die at once, suddenly, in a moment, wholly at ease and quiet, without any bitterness of soul; see Job 21:13, or "there are no bands until their death" f; they have no straits nor difficulties all their life long, no distempers nor diseases which may be called "bonds", Luke 13:12, till they come to die: the Vulgate Latin version is, "there is no respect to their death"; they take no notice of it, they have no care or concern about it; or, as the Targum,

"they are not terrified nor troubled because of the day of their death;''

they put it away far from them, and think nothing about it: but their strength is firm; they are hale and robust, healthful and sound, to the day of their death; their strength is not weakened in the way by diseases and distempers. Some take the word rendered "strength" to signify a porch or palace, and translate it, they are strong as a palace, or in a palace, or their palace is strong g their houses are well built, and continue long.

f למותם "usque ad mortem eorum", Junius Tremellius, Piscator, Gejerus, Michaelis. g אולם "palatium vel sicut palatium" so some in Piscator; "porticus", Schmidt; so R. Jonah, Arama, and Jerom.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For there are no bands in their death - The word rendered “bands” here means properly “cords tightly drawn,” Isaiah 58:6; then, pains, pangs, torments - “as if” one were twisted or tortured with pain, as a cord is closely twisted. The word occurs only in Isaiah 58:6, and in this place. The fact which is here referred to by the psalmist, and which gave him so much uneasiness, was that which so often occurs, that when the wicked die, they do not seem to suffer in proportion to their wickedness; or there seem to be no special marks of the divine displeasure as they are about to leave the world. They have lived in prosperity, and they die in peace. There is no uncommon agony in death; there is no special alarm about the future world. They have enjoyed this world, and a sinful life seems now to be followed by a peaceful death. They do not even suffer as much in death as good people often do; - what then is the advantage of piety? And how can we believe that God is just; or that he is the friend of the righteous; or even that there is a God? Of the fact here adverted to by the psalmist, that the wicked do thus live and die, there can be no doubt, and that fact has given perplexity to good people in all ages of the world.

But their strength is firm - Margin, as in Hebrew, “fat.” That is, They are not emaciated and weakened by disease, but they go down to death apparently from good health, and without wasting disease. See the notes at Job 21:23-26.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 73:4. No bands in their death — Many of the godly have sore conflicts at their death. Their enemy then thrusts sore at them that they may fall; or that their confidence in their God may be shaken. But of this the ungodly know nothing. Satan will not molest them; he is sure of his prey; they are entangled, and cannot now break their nets; their consciences are seared, they have no sense of guilt. If they think at all of another world, they presume on that mercy which they never sought, and of which they have no distinct notion. Perhaps, "they die without a sigh or a groan; and thus go off as quiet as a lamb"-to the slaughter.
