Psalms 73:3-6 in English

³ For I was envious at the arrogant, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

⁴ For there are no pangs in their death; But their strength is firm.

⁵ They are not in trouble as other men; Neither are they plagued like other men.

⁶ Therefore pride is as a chain about their neck; Violence covereth them as a garment.

³ Lift up thine hands against their pride continually; because of all that the enemy has done wickedly in thy holy places.

⁴ And they that hate thee have boasted in the midst of thy feast; they have set up their standards for signs,

⁵ ignorantly as it were in the entrance above;

⁶ they cut down its doors at once with axes as in a wood of trees; they have broken it down with hatchet and stone cutter.

³ For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

⁴ For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.

⁵ They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.

⁶ Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.
