Psalm 73:2-11

Contemporary English Version

⁶ Their pride is like a necklace,
and they commit sin more often
    than they dress themselves.
⁷ Their eyes bulge with fat,
and their minds are flooded
    with foolish thoughts.
⁸ They sneer and say cruel things,
and because of their pride,
    they make violent threats.
⁹ They dare to speak against God
    and to order others around.

¹⁰ God will bring his people back,
and they will drink the water
    he so freely gives.^[b]

¹¹ Only evil people would say,
“God Most High cannot
    know everything!”
