Psalm 73:3-12
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
3 For I envied the arrogant;
I saw the prosperity of the wicked.(A)
4 They have an easy time until they die,[a]
and their bodies are well fed.[b](B)
5 They are not in trouble like others;
they are not afflicted like most people.(C)
6 Therefore, pride is their necklace,
and violence covers them like a garment.(D)
7 Their eyes bulge out from fatness;
the imaginations of their hearts run wild.(E)
8 They mock, and they speak maliciously;
they arrogantly threaten oppression.(F)
9 They set their mouths against heaven,
and their tongues strut across the earth.(G)
10 Therefore his people turn to them[c]
and drink in their overflowing words.[d](H)
11 The wicked say, ‘How can God know?
Does the Most High know everything? ’(I)
12 Look at them – the wicked!
They are always at ease,
and they increase their wealth.(J)
