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.

Psalm 73:4-12
New International Version
4 They have no struggles;
their bodies are healthy and strong.[a]
5 They are free(A) from common human burdens;
they are not plagued by human ills.
6 Therefore pride(B) is their necklace;(C)
they clothe themselves with violence.(D)
7 From their callous hearts(E) comes iniquity[b];
their evil imaginations have no limits.
8 They scoff, and speak with malice;(F)
with arrogance(G) they threaten oppression.(H)
9 Their mouths lay claim to heaven,
and their tongues take possession of the earth.
10 Therefore their people turn to them
and drink up waters in abundance.[c]
11 They say, “How would God know?
Does the Most High know anything?”
