it is good for me. The Hebrew accent ( pasek ) emphasizes the Pronoun "me". Others may go "far from Thee" (Psalms 73:27 ), but "as for me, I will draw near to Thee" (Compare Psalms 73:23 ). The "good" is seen in the twofold result: (1) I find a refuge in Him; (2) I tell forth His praises. put my trust = flee for refuge. Hebrew. hasah. App-69 . the Lord GOD = Adonai Jehovah.

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 73:1
BOOK IIIPSALMS 73-89INTRODUCTION FOR BOOK IIIPsalms 73-89 are entitled Book III. These Psalms are classified as "The Asaph Group," composed of Psalms 73-83, the only other Asaph Psalm being Psalms 50 in Book II. "All of this group are Elohimic."[1] Most of the remaining Psalms in Book IV are ascribed to the Sons of Korah. "Some of these are Elohimic and some are Jehovist."[2] Three Psalms in this Book are ascribed, one each, to David, Heman and Ethan."The Psalms of Asaph are of different dates,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 73:3
"For I was envious at the arrogant,When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.For there are no pangs in their death;But their strength is firm.They are not in trouble as other men;Neither are they plagued like other men.Therefore pride is as a chain about their neck;Violence covereth them as a garment."This impression that the wicked made upon the Psalmist was surely due in part to the faulty nature of his observation. It is human nature to view the "grass on the other side of the fence" as... read more

"Their eyes stand out with fatness;They have more than heart could wish.They scoff, and in wickedness utter oppression:They speak loftily.They have set their mouth in the heavens,And their tongue walketh through the earth.Therefore his people return hither:And waters of a full cup are drained by them.""More than heart could wish" (Psalms 73:7). The wicked people in view here were wealthy."They scoff" (Psalms 73:8). Psalms 73:8-9 describes the arrogant and boastful speech of the wicked."They... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 73:11
"And they say, How doth God know?And is there knowledge in the Most High?Behold, these are the wicked;And being always at ease, they increase in riches."Part of this verse accurately describes the wicked. They are indeed unbelievers, practical atheists, who have no knowledge of God and who desire none. As noted above, we cannot allow all of this to be an accurate description of the wicked, but rather an impression that the wicked made upon the envious heart of a superficial observer. Although... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 73:13
"Surely in vain have I cleansed my heart,And washed my hands in innocency;For all the day long have I been plagued,And chastened every morning."These verses represent the thoughts that came into the mind of the tempted Psalmist; but he never permitted such words to escape from his lips. These verses were indeed whispered into his ear by Satan himself; but the Psalmist, although feeling the appeal of such thoughts tugging at his heart, nevertheless rejected them and did not utter them. Many a... read more
