Context of Psalms 73:14

12Take a good look, and see how wicked those people are! They have no troubles, and they become richer and richer. 13I decided that I had tried to do what is right, but it did not help me at all! I had refused to do anything wrong, for no good reason! I had trouble each and every day. Punishment came to me every morning! 15If I had spoken aloud things like that, I would have turned against your own people. 16When I thought about all this, it was so hard for me to understand.
