Psalms 73:4-12

The Deceptive Prosperity of the Wicked

Psalms 73:4-12
4
They have no struggle in their death; their bodies are well-fed.
5
They are free of the burdens others carry; they are not afflicted like other men.
6
Therefore pride is their necklace; a garment of violence covers them.
7
From their prosperity proceeds iniquity; the imaginations of their hearts run wild.
8
They mock and speak with malice; with arrogance they threaten oppression.
9
They set their mouths against the heavens, and their tongues strut across the earth.
10
So their people return to this place and drink up waters in abundance.
11
The wicked say, “How can God know? Does the Most High have knowledge?”
12
Behold, these are the wicked— always carefree as they increase their wealth.
