è©©ç·¨ 73:9

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

They set their mouth against the heavens,.... Against God in heaven, see Daniel 4:26, against his being, saying, there is no God; against his perfections, thinking him to be such an one as themselves; against his purposes and decrees, replying against him, and charging him with insincerity, cruelty, and unrighteousness; and against his providence, either denying it, or affirming it to be unequal; and against his doctrines, ordinances, and ministers. Aben Ezra interprets it also of the angels of heaven, who are spoken against, when it is denied that there are any such beings, as were by the Sadducees; and blasphemed, when the worshipping of them is introduced. The Targum understands it of the saints of heaven, with which compare Revelation 13:6 it may be applied to civil magistrates, the higher powers, who represent on earth God in heaven; and there are some that despise dominion, and speak evil of such dignities:

and their tongue walketh through the earth: sparing none, high nor low, but injures all sorts of persons with their lies and calumnies. This denotes the unbridled liberty which wicked men take with their tongues; there is no restraint upon them, no stopping of them; see Psalms 12:5 the universal mischief they are continually doing, and the diabolical influence of their detraction and falsehood; like Satan, their tongues walk to and fro in the earth, doing all the injury to the credit and characters of men they possibly can.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

They set their mouth against the heavens - Compare Revelation 13:6. Literally, “They set their mouth in heaven,” or in the heavens. The idea is, they speak as if they were “in” the heavens; as if they were clothed with all authority; as if they were superior beings, and had a right to command the universe.

And their tongue walketh through the earth - It has no limit; it is as if it roamed over all the earth. They speak without any restraint of law, or propriety; without any regard to the command of God, or to what is due to people, In other words, they seem to set themselves above all law, and to act as if there were no one in heaven or in earth to control them.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 73:9. Set their mouth against the heavens — They blaspheme God, ridicule religion, mock at Providence, and laugh at a future state.

Their tongue walketh through the earth. — They find fault with every thing; they traduce the memory of the just in heaven, and ridicule the saints that are upon earth. They criticize every dispensation of God.
