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 because I was jealous of the proud when I saw that things go well for the wicked.

4 They do not suffer pain; they are strong and healthy.

5 They do not suffer as other people do; they do not have the troubles that others have.

6 And so they wear pride like a necklace and violence like a robe;

7 their hearts pour out evil, and their minds are busy with wicked schemes.
