Psalm 73:1-3

Expanded Bible

Book 3: Psalms 73–89

Should the Wicked Be Rich?

A psalm of Asaph [^Ca Levitical musician, a descendant of Gershon, at the time of David; 1 Chr. 6:39; 15:17; 2 Chr. 5:12].

73 ·God is truly [Surely God is] good to ·Israel [or those with integrity/virtue],
    to those who have pure hearts.
²But ·I had almost stopped believing [^Las for me, my feet almost stumbled];
    ·I had almost lost my faith [my steps almost slipped]
³because I was ·jealous [envious] of ·proud people [braggers; boasters].
    I saw wicked people ·doing well [prospering].
