Psalms 73:12 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 73:12
The summary 'these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches' restates the problem: wicked people succeed materially. This observation challenged covenant theology that promised blessing for obedience. The psalmist's temptation was concluding that righteousness is futile if wickedness produces prosperity. Yet temporal wealth is fleeting (1 Timothy 6:17), while righteousness produces eternal reward (Matthew 6:19-20). The issue is time-horizon: short-term versus eternal perspective.
