Don't envy those who are wicked in their ways

Psalm 73 is the first psalm in the third book of Psalms.

This is an interesting psalm, for the speaker appears to envy those who are wicked.  He sees how well-fed they are, how they appear to have everything of material worth, and yet they continue to speak arrogantly and maliciously.

These people strut around, mocking God, and their material wealth seems to increase.

The speaker struggles with understanding all of this, seems to feel they are being punished and feels helpless.

Then, the speaker comes to the understanding that the Lord's sanctuary is their ultimate destiny and those who are wicked are doomed to desolation.

The Lord is our refuge, no matter what material possessions others may have.  Only God can give strength to our hearts and He is our refuge.
