Context of Psalms 73:14
12Look how wicked they are! They never have a worry. They grow more and more wealthy. 13I’ve received no reward for keeping my life pure and washing my hands of any blame. I’m plagued ⌞with problems⌟ all day long, and every morning my punishment ⌞begins again⌟. 15If I had said, “I will continue to talk like that,” I would have betrayed God’s people. 16But when I tried to understand this, it was too difficult for me.
