Psalms 73:4 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 73:4
Observing that the wicked have 'no bands in their death' and their 'strength is firm' suggests they die peacefully and live comfortably. This contradicts expected divine justice—shouldn't sinners suffer and the righteous prosper? The apparent anomaly creates the psalm's crisis. Yet temporal prosperity is deceptive; without Christ, a comfortable death leads to eternal judgment (Luke 16:19-31). The rich man died in comfort but woke in torment.
