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 saw that proud and sinful people were doing well. And I began to long for what they had.

4 They don't have any troubles. Their bodies are healthy and strong.

5 They don't have the problems others have. They don't suffer as other people do.

6 Their pride is like a necklace. They put on meanness as if it were their clothes.

7 Many sins come out of their hard and stubborn hearts. There is no limit to their proud and evil thoughts.
