1 [A Psalme of Asaph.] Truely God is good to Israel, euen to such as are of a cleane heart.
2 But as for mee, my feete were almost gone: my steps had well-nigh slipt.
3 For I was enuious at the foolish, when I sawe the prosperity of the wicked.
4 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firme.
5 They are not in trouble as other men: neither are they plagued like other men.
6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chaine: violence couereth them as a garment.
7 Their eies stand out with fatnes: they haue more then heart could wish.
8 They are corrupt, and speake wickedly concerning oppression: they speake loftily.
9 They set their mouth against the heauens; and their tongue walketh through the earth.
10 Therefore his people returne hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
12 Behold, these are the vngodly: who prosper in the world, they increase in riches.
13 Uerily I haue cleansed my heart in vaine, and washed my hands in innocencie.
14 For all the day long haue I bene plagued, and chastened euery morning.
15 If I say, I will speake thus: behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.
16 When I thought to know this, it was too painfull for me,
17 Untill I went into the Sanctuarie of God; then vnderstood I their end.
18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them downe into destruction.
19 How are they brought into desolation as in a moment? they are vtterly consumed with terrours.
20 As a dreame when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest thou shalt despise their image.
21 Thus my heart was greeued, and I was pricked in my reines.
22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.
23 Neuerthelesse I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsell; and afterward receiue me to glory.
25 Whom haue I in heauen but thee? and there is none vpon earth that I desire besides thee.
26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for euer.

Afolayan Sowande's Psalms Chapter 73 comment about verse 24 on 11/14/2012, 5:58pm...
The Holy Spirit said to me that "Life is not difficult to live, it is men that are difficult to lead”. Until a man surrenders to the leading of the Holy Spirit he cannot enter into glorious living. What God wants to give His children is treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, therefore it takes the guidance of the Holy Spirit to know where those treasures can be found.
Max Israel Zwelopili's Psalms Chapter 73 comment on 10/03/2012, 6:25am...
A Sanctuary is a place where all questions of life are settled and the destinies of men understood. I envy no man forever no matter how prosperous, the Sanctuary has cleared my mind well enough about their fate and my glorious outcome.
HARRY ALLISON's Psalms Chapter 73 comment on 6/13/2012, 5:02am...
THOUGH materials are necessary in this life ,I cant worship them!they will dissolve.WHO needs a god like that?JESUS LOVES US AND IS "THE ROCK",that does not dissolve.
Timothy Wayne George's Psalms Chapter 73 comment on 4/12/2012, 9:13am...
We as Christians sometimes wonder why the wicked prosper in the world, and we suffer. We must abide in the sanctuary of God, and there we will see their end. When destruction comes to the wicked, we are not to gloat at it, rather we should be prayerful that they will come to repentance to God. Godly sorrow leads to repentance unto salvation, but worldly sorrow leads to death. God continually guides us with his counsel, and then afterward takes us to glory. So God wants us to be intercessors for those who prosper in this world, and warn them that it is but for a season. Godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing in this world, and we will carry nothing with us when we are gone. Warn those that are rich, they will fall into temptation, and a snare which drown men in perdition, and destruction. It is not a sin to be rich, but with great wealth comes great responsibility. The rich should be free to give, and not trust in uncertain riches. God gives us the ability to earn wealth, and we must be careful to give God the glory for all that he gives us.

The righteous will always laugh last at the end.
Nathan's Psalms Chapter 73 comment on 11/29/2010, 12:28pm...
well mortal descruction awaits us all. the righteous and the wicked all await a destruction for we all fall short of the glory of God. Believers and non Believers alike all are capable of wicked and foolish endeavors and will face judgement one day. For the Believer however the Lord will forgive them and accept him into his kingdom while the non believe will face an eternal destruction.
Esther Njoku's Psalms Chapter 73 comment on 4/01/2010, 4:50am...
It is good to know that the wicked and the foolish ones may prosper and grow wings but they have a very short, as God is watching them and waiting for their time to repent if they will otherwise destruction awaits them at the end.
