Psalm 73 was written by Asaph who clearly struggles to cope with the prosperity of the wicked as opposed to the suffering of the righteous. Asaph confesses that he envied the prosperity of the wicked as they have such an easy life! "Their mouths lay claim to heaven... they are always carefree increasing in wealth... surely in vain have I kept my heart pure... but how suddenly are they destroyed... but you Lord hold me by my right hand... you guide me with your counsel... whom have I in heaven but you?... God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever... you destroy all who are unfaithful to you, but as for me it is good to be near God!
