Psalm 73:5

5 They are never in trouble; they aren't weighed down like other people.

Psalm 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 ) .

Psalm 73:5 In-Context

3 because I envied the arrogant; I observed how the wicked are well off:

4 They suffer no pain; their bodies are fit and strong.

5 They are never in trouble; they aren't weighed down like other people.

6 That's why they wear arrogance like a necklace, why violence covers them like clothes.

7 Their eyes bulge out from eating so well; their hearts overflow with delusions.
