Psalms 73:5

Psalms 73:5 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 73:5

They are not in trouble, as other men
Either of body or of mind, as the saints are, who through many tribulations enter the kingdom; or are not in "labour" F8, do not labour for food and raiment, or get their bread by the sweat of their brow, as poor men do; nor are weary, so Arama: "neither are they plagued like other men"; smitten of God, corrected, and chastised by him, as his children are; the rod of God is not upon them, ( Job 21:9 ) .

Psalms 73:5 In-Context

3 For I envied the arrogant; I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 They have an easy time until they die, and their bodies are well-fed.
5 They are not in trouble like others; they are not afflicted like most people.
6 Therefore, pride is their necklace, and violence covers them like a garment.
7 Their eyes bulge out from fatness; the imaginations of their hearts run wild.
