Psalm 73:4-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
4 For they suffer no pain;
their bodies are healthy and sleek.
5 They are free of the burdens of life;
they are not afflicted like others.
6 Thus pride adorns them as a necklace;
violence clothes them as a robe.
7 Out of such blindness comes sin;
evil thoughts flood their hearts.(A)
8 They scoff and spout their malice;
from on high they utter threats.(B)
9 [a]They set their mouths against the heavens,
their tongues roam the earth.
10 [b]So my people turn to them
and drink deeply of their words.
11 They say, “Does God really know?”
“Does the Most High have any knowledge?”(C)
12 Such, then, are the wicked,
always carefree, increasing their wealth.
