2 But as for me, my feet came close to stumbling,
My steps 73:2 Lit were caused to sliphad almost slipped.
3 For I was envious of the 73:3 Or boastersarrogant
As I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
16 When I thought of understanding this,
It was 73:16 Lit labor, troubletroublesome in my sight
17 Until I entered the 73:17 Lit sanctuariessanctuary of God;
Then I perceived their end.
2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;73.16 too…: Heb. labour in mine eyes
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.
2 But as for me, my feet had almost slipped;
I had nearly lost my foothold.
3 For I envied the arrogant
when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
16 When I tried to understand all this,
it troubled me deeply
17 till I entered the sanctuary of God;
then I understood their final destiny.
2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled,
my steps had nearly slipped.
3 See Job 21:7For I was Ps. 37:1;Prov. 23:17envious of the arrogant
when I saw the [Ps. 37:7;92:7;Jer. 12:1]prosperity of the wicked.
16 But when I thought how to understand this,
it seemed to me Eccles. 8:17a wearisome task,
17 until I went into Ps. 20:2the sanctuary of God;
then I discerned their Ps. 37:38end.
2 But as for me, I almost lost my footing.
My feet were slipping, and I was almost gone.
3 For I envied the proud
when I saw them prosper despite their wickedness.
16 So I tried to understand why the wicked prosper.
But what a difficult task it is!
17 Then I went into your sanctuary, O God,
and I finally understood the destiny of the wicked.
2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled;
My steps had nearly Job 12:5slipped.
3 Ps. 37:1, 7; (Prov. 23:17)For I was envious of the boastful,
When I saw the prosperity of the Job 21:5–16; Jer. 12:1wicked.
16 When I thought how to understand this,
It was too painful for me—
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God;
Then I understood their (Ps. 37:38; 55:23)end.
2 But as for me, my feet almost slipped;
my steps nearly went astray. 73:2 Ps 17:5; 66:9; 94:18
3 For I envied the arrogant;
I saw the prosperity of the wicked. 73:3 Ps 37:1; Pr 23:17; 24:1
16 When I tried to understand all this,
it seemed hopeless 73:16 Lit it was trouble in my eyes, 73:16 Ec 8:17
17 until I entered God’s sanctuary.
Then I understood their destiny. 73:17 Jb 8:13; Ps 37:38
2 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast possessed from the beginning. The sceptre of thy inheritance which thou hast redeemed: mount Sion in which thou hast dwelt.
3 Lift up thy hands against their pride unto the end; see what things the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
16 Thine is the day, and thine is the night: thou hast made the morning light and the sun.
17 Thou hast made all the borders of the earth: the summer and the spring were formed by thee.
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.
15-20 If I’d have given in and talked like this,
I would have betrayed your dear children.
Still, when I tried to figure it out,
all I got was a splitting headache . . .
Until I entered the sanctuary of God.
Then I saw the whole picture:
The slippery road you’ve put them on,
with a final crash in a ditch of delusions.
In the blink of an eye, disaster!
A blind curve in the dark, and—nightmare!
We wake up and rub our eyes. . . . Nothing.
There’s nothing to them. And there never was.
