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

Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain, .] Which was the sin of the devils, and of our first parents, and of Sodom, and is the sin of antichrist and which, of all sins, is most hateful to God; this arises from, at least is increased by, outward prosperity. Jeshurun waxed fat and kicked; pride and fulness of bread went together in Sodom; and, where it is predominant, it binds as a chain; such who are under the power of it are slaves unto it, they are chained and fettered by it, and it possesses them wholly; it shows itself in the several members of their bodies, in their eyes and feet, their walk and gait, and in their conduct and behaviour, and in the several actions of their lives, and is rightly called "the pride of life"; or rather they bind it about themselves as a chain, fancying it to be an ornament to them, what sets them off, and makes them look great in the eyes of others; whereas the reverse is what is of great price, and in high esteem with God and good men; namely, the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit:

violence covereth them as a garment; wicked men that are prosperous and proud are generally oppressive to others; and are very often open in their acts of violence, which are as openly done and to be seen of all men, as the clothes upon their backs; and frequently the clothes they wear are got by rapine and oppression, so that they may properly be called garments of violence; see Isaiah 59:6.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain - Therefore they are proud, haughty, imperious. They put on the ornaments and trappings of pride; their clothing and their adorning all are indicative of a proud heart. They seem to imagine that they are better than others, and that they are treated in this manner “because” they are better than others. In the original it is a single word which is rendered “compasseth about as a chain.” The word means “to adorn with a necklace or collar;” and the idea is, that pride surrounds them as with a neck-chain, or a collar for the neck. They wear it as an ornament. They make it conspicuous. It is apparent on a haughty neck - in an erect and stiff demeanour. Compare the notes at Isaiah 3:16 : “The daughters of Zion walk with stretched forth necks.”

Violence covereth them as a garment - Injustice or cruelty seems to be their very clothing. It is manifest in their whole gait and demeanor that they are men of haughtiness and pride; that they are destitute of tenderness, sympathy, sensibility.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 73:6. Pride compasseth them about as a chain — Perhaps there is an allusion here to the office which some of them bore. Chains of gold, and golden rings, were ensigns of magistracy and civil power. As these chains encompassed their necks, or the rings their wrists and fingers, as the signs of the offices in virtue of which they acted; so חמס chamas, violence, oppressive conduct, encompassed them. They made no other use of their great power, than to oppress the poor and the needy; and to drive things to extremities. The Chaldee, instead of a chain, represents this as a crown or diadem, which they had formed out of the plunder of the poor and defenceless.
