Psalm 73:5

5 Who have nothing to worry about, not a care in the whole wide world.

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 I was looking the other way, looking up to the people

4 At the top, envying the wicked who have it made,

5 Who have nothing to worry about, not a care in the whole wide world.

6 Pretentious with arrogance, they wear the latest fashions in violence,

7 Pampered and overfed, decked out in silk bows of silliness.
