Psalms 73 — Context

As for me, I have made my heart clean to no purpose, washing my hands in righteousness;

For I have been troubled all the day; every morning have I undergone punishment.

If I would make clear what it is like, I would say, You are false to the generation of your children.

When my thoughts were turned to see the reason of this, it was a weariness in my eyes;

Till I went into God's holy place, and saw the end of the evil-doers.

You put their feet where there was danger of slipping, so that they go down into destruction.

How suddenly are they wasted! fears are the cause of their destruction.
