Context of Psalms 73:17
15If I had said, “I will speak this way,” Behold, I would have betrayed the generation of Your children. 16When I thought of understanding this, It was troublesome in my sight Until I entered the sanctuary of God; Then I perceived their end. 18You indeed put them on slippery ground; You dropped them into ruin. 19How they are destroyed in a moment! They are utterly swept away by sudden terrors!

Then light sprang up in my mind, and I was assured that…Read the comment

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
