Psalms 73:22 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 73:22
The confession deepens: 'So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.' The psalmist acknowledges his animal-like perspective—focused only on immediate, temporal realities like brute beasts. Lacking eternal perspective reduced him to creature-level thinking, unable to comprehend God's purposes. This humility prepares for restored relationship. Admitting foolishness is the first step toward wisdom (Proverbs 9:10). Only by recognizing we've thought like beasts can we begin thinking as God's image-bearers.
