Psalms 73:1
A psalm by Asaph.
1 Certainly God is good to Israel, ▼▼ Since the psalm appears to focus on an individual’s concerns, not the situation of Israel, this introduction may be a later addition designed to apply the psalm’s message to the entire community. To provide a better parallel with the next line, some emend the Hebrew phrase לְיִשְׂרָאֵל אֱלֹהִים (leyisra’el ’elohim, “to Israel, God”) to אֱלֹהִים [or אֵל] לָיָּשָׁר (’elohim [or ’el] leyyashar, “God [is good] to the upright one”).
and to those whose motives are pure! ▼
▼ Heb “to the pure of heart.”
