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 was envious of arrogant people when I saw the prosperity that wicked people enjoy.

4 They suffer no pain. Their bodies are healthy.

5 They have no drudgery in their lives like ordinary people. They are not plagued [with problems] like others.

6 That is why they wear arrogance like a necklace and acts of violence like clothing.

7 Their eyes peer out from their fat faces, and their imaginations run wild.
