Psalm 73:12-17
New Living Translation

12 Look at these wicked people—
    enjoying a life of ease while their riches multiply.

13 Did I keep my heart pure for nothing?
    Did I keep myself innocent for no reason?
14 I get nothing but trouble all day long;
    every morning brings me pain.

15 If I had really spoken this way to others,
    I would have been a traitor to your people.
16 So I tried to understand why the wicked prosper.
    But what a difficult task it is!
17 Then I went into your sanctuary, O God,
    and I finally understood the destiny of the wicked.

Psalm 73:12-17
New International Version

12 This is what the wicked are like—
    always free of care,(A) they go on amassing wealth.(B)

13 Surely in vain(C) I have kept my heart pure
    and have washed my hands in innocence.(D)
14 All day long I have been afflicted,(E)
    and every morning brings new punishments.

15 If I had spoken out like that,
    I would have betrayed your children.
16 When I tried to understand(F) all this,
    it troubled me deeply
17 till I entered the sanctuary(G) of God;
    then I understood their final destiny.(H)
