I invite you to take a look at the entire Psalm.

Psalm 73 (Contemporary English Version)
(A psalm by Asaph.)
God Is Good

1-God is truly good to Israel, [a] especially to everyone
with a pure heart.

2-But I almost stumbled and fell,

3-because it made me jealous to see proud and evil people and to watch them prosper.

4-They never have to suffer, [b] they stay healthy,

5-and they don't have troubles like everyone else.

6-Their pride is like a necklace, and they commit sin more often than they dress themselves.

7-Their eyes poke out with fat, and their minds are flooded
with foolish thoughts.

8-They sneer and say cruel things,and because of their pride,
they make violent threats.

9-They dare to speak against God and to order others around.

10-God will bring his people back, and they will drink the water
he so freely gives. [c]

11-Only evil people would say, "God Most High cannot know everything!"

12-Yet all goes well for them, and they live in peace.

13-What good did it do me to keep my thoughts pure and refuse to do wrong?

14-I am sick all day, and I am punished each morning.

15-If I had said evil things, I would not have been loyal to your people.

16-It was hard for me to understand all this!

17-Then I went to your temple, and there I understood what will happen to my enemies.

18-You will make them stumble,never to get up again.

19-They will be terrified, suddenly swept away and no longer here.

20-They will disappear, Lord, despised like a bad dream the morning after.

21-Once I was bitter and brokenhearted.

22-I was stupid and ignorant, and I treated you as a wild animal would.

23-But I never really left you, and you hold my right hand.

24-Your advice has been my guide, and later you will welcome me
in glory. [d]

25In heaven I have only you, and on this earth you are all I
want.

26-My body and mind may fail, but you are my strength and my
choice forever.

27-Powerful LORD God, all who stay far from you will be lost, and you will destroy those who are unfaithful.

28-It is good for me to be near you. I choose you as my protector, and I will tell about your wonderful deeds.

Blessings!
