Context of Psalms 73:17
15If I said, I will speak thus, behold, I should be faithless to the generation of thy children. 16When I thought to be able to know this, it was a grievous task in mine eyes; Until I went into the sanctuaries of God; [then] understood I their end. 18Truly thou settest them in slippery places, thou castest them down in ruins. 19How are they suddenly made desolate! they pass away, consumed with terrors.

God deals with the wicked over the long term. He waits patiently and gives them time to repent (Ezekiel 33:11; 2 Peter 3:9). Those who do not repent will get what they deserve.Read the comment
