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.

Therefore pride compasseth them, &c.— That is, They are holden, as the other translation has it, or they are wholly possessed with pride: in like manner, as their necks are encompassed with a golden chain; which used to be worn by way of ornament. See Song of Solomon 4:9. Castalio renders the next clause, They are clothed with the garment of violence; i.e. "They maintain their pompous greatness by acts of violence:" These are what so magnificently clothes them. read more
