Psalm 73:2-5
The Message
Psalm 73:2-5
The Message
73 1-5 No doubt about it! God is good—
good to good people, good to the good-hearted.
But I nearly missed it,
missed seeing his goodness.
I was looking the other way,
looking up to the people
At the top,
envying the wicked who have it made,
Who have nothing to worry about,
not a care in the whole wide world.
Psalm 73:2-4
New International Version
Psalm 73:2-4
New International Version
2 But as for me, my feet had almost slipped;(A)
I had nearly lost my foothold.(B)
3 For I envied(C) the arrogant
when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.(D)
4 They have no struggles;
their bodies are healthy and strong.[a]
