Psalm 73:3-6, 16-28
3 - I envied the proud when I saw them prosper despite their wickedness.
4 - They seem to live such painless lives; their bodies are so healthy and strong.
5 - They don’t have troubles like other people; they’re not plagued with problems like everyone else.
6 - They wear pride like a jeweled necklace and clothe themselves with cruelty.
16 – So, I tried to understand why the wicked prosper. But what a difficult task it is!
17 - Then I went into your sanctuary, O God, and I finally understood the destiny of the wicked.
18 - Truly, you put them on a slippery path and send them sliding over the cliff to destruction.
19 - In an instant, they are destroyed, completely swept away by terrors.
20 - When you arise, O Lord, you will laugh at their silly ideas as a person laughs at dreams in the morning.
21 - Then I realized that my heart was bitter, and I was all torn up inside.
22 - I was so foolish and ignorant—I must have seemed like a senseless animal to you.
23 - Yet I still belong to you; you hold my right hand.
24 - You guide me with your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny.
25 - Whom have I in heaven but you? I desire you more than anything on earth.
26 - My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever.
27 - Those who desert him will perish, for you destroy those who abandon you.
28 - But as for me, how good it is to be near God! I have made the Sovereign Lord my shelter, and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things you do.
