Psalms 73:3-12

3For I envied the proud when I saw them prosper despite their wickedness.

4They seem to live such painless lives; their bodies are so healthy and strong.

5They don’t have troubles like other people; they’re not plagued with problems like everyone else.

6They wear pride like a jeweled necklace and clothe themselves with cruelty.

7These fat cats have everything their hearts could ever wish for!

8They scoff and speak only evil; in their pride they seek to crush others.

9They boast against the very heavens, and their words strut throughout the earth.

10And so the people are dismayed and confused, drinking in all their words.

11“What does God know?” they ask. “Does the Most High even know what’s happening?”

12Look at these wicked people— enjoying a life of ease while their riches multiply.
