Psalm 73:3-7
Holman Christian Standard Bible
3 For I envied the arrogant;
I saw the prosperity of the wicked.(A)
4 They have an easy time until they die,[a]
and their bodies are well fed.[b](B)
5 They are not in trouble like others;
they are not afflicted like most people.(C)
6 Therefore, pride is their necklace,
and violence covers them like a garment.(D)
7 Their eyes bulge out from fatness;
the imaginations of their hearts run wild.(E)

New International Version
4 They have no struggles;

5 They are free(C) from common human burdens;
they are not plagued by human ills.
6 Therefore pride(D) is their necklace;(E)
they clothe themselves with violence.(F)
7 From their callous hearts(G) comes iniquity[b];
their evil imaginations have no limits.
