Verse 7
"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 have set their mouth in the heavens" (Psalms 73:9). The margin on this reads, against the heavens. They speak as if they owned heaven and earth.
"Their tongue walketh through the earth" (Psalms 73:9). This line is priceless. There are a lot of wicked tongues walking through the earth right now!
"His people return hither" (Psalms 73:10). The thought here is that the "followers" of wicked men partake of their earthly benefits and adopt their patterns of evil behavior."
