Psalms 73:1-5 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

1. God is so good to Israel, to those whose hearts are pure.

2. But I almost slipped and lost my balance. I almost fell into sin.

3. I saw that wicked people were successful, and I became jealous of those proud people.

4. They are healthy. They don’t have to struggle to survive.

5. They don’t suffer like the rest of us. They don’t have troubles like other people.

21-22. I was so stupid. I thought about such people and became upset. God, I was upset and angry with you! I acted like a senseless animal.
