BRN Remember thy congregation which thou hast purchased from the beginning; thou didst ransom the rod of thine inheritance; this mount Sion wherein thou hast dwelt.
BrLXX Μνήσθητι τῆς συναγωγῆς σου ἧς ἐκτήσω ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς· ἐλυτρώσω ῥάβδον κληρονομίας σου· ὄρος Σιὼν τοῦτο ὃ κατεσκήνωσας ἐν αὐτῷ.

Ps 73 This wisdom psalm examines the injustice of the prosperity of the wicked. The psalmist affirms that God is good to the godly but his own experience differs (73:2-12). Nearly overcome by his doubts (73:13-16), the psalmist meets the Lord in the sanctuary and gains a perspective that stretches beyond his life and renews his confidence in God (73:17-26). His disturbing doubts stir a greater passion for truth. He knows that he can trust God and that God will rescue him (73:27-28).

as,almost (Some words not found in UHB: and,me as,almost stumbled feet,my as,nearly slipped steps,my )
Here, my feet and my steps represent the Psalmist himself and the phrases slipped and slide out refer to abandoning doing what pleases God and instead choosing to sin. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning with an equivalent metaphor or use a simile. Alternately, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I was tempted to stop obeying God. It was as if my feet almost slipped and as if my steps were almost caused to slide out from under me” or “I almost stopped trusting in God; I was almost guilty of sinning against him”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
כִּ֭מְעַט נָטָ֣יוּ רַגְלָ֑י כְּ֝אַ֗יִן שֻׁפְּכ֥וּ אֲשֻׁרָֽי
as,almost (Some words not found in UHB: and,me as,almost stumbled feet,my as,nearly slipped steps,my )
The phrase my feet almost slipped and the phrase my steps almost were caused to slide out from under me mean basically the same thing. The Psalmist says the same thing twice for emphasis and poetic effect. If saying the same thing twice might be confusing for your readers, you can combine the phrases into one. Alternate translation: “my feet almost slipped” or “my feet almost slid out from under me”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
כְּ֝אַ֗יִן שֻׁפְּכ֥וּ אֲשֻׁרָֽי
as,nearly (Some words not found in UHB: and,me as,almost stumbled feet,my as,nearly slipped steps,my )
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who did the action, the following verse implies that the Psalmist caused his own steps to almost slide out from under him when he looked at the “prosperity of the wicked” and did not also immediately go into “God’s sanctuary” so that he could “understand” the final “fate” of the wicked (see Psalm 73:17). Alternate translation: “I almost caused my steps to slide out from under me”
