Contextual Overview

1

A psalm of Asaph.

God is truly good to Israel, to those who have pure hearts. 2 But I had almost stopped believing; I had almost lost my faith 3 because I was jealous of proud people. I saw wicked people doing well. 4 They are not suffering; they are healthy and strong. 5 They don't have troubles like the rest of us; they don't have problems like other people. 6 They wear pride like a necklace and put on violence as their clothing. 7 They are looking for profits and do not control their selfish desires. 8 They make fun of others and speak evil; proudly they speak of hurting others. 9 They brag to the sky. They say that they own the earth. 10 So their people turn to them and give them whatever they want.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

They are not in trouble, as other men,.... Either of body or of mind, as the saints are, who through many tribulations enter the kingdom; or are not in "labour" h, do not labour for food and raiment, or get their bread by the sweat of their brow, as poor men do; nor are weary, so Arama: "neither are they plagued like other men"; smitten of God, corrected, and chastised by him, as his children are; the rod of God is not upon them, Job 21:9.

h בעמל "in labore", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus, Musculus, Junius & Tremellius, Gejerus.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

They are not in trouble as other men - Margin, “In the trouble of other men.” Literally, “In the labor of man they are not;” that is, they are exempt from the common burdens and troubles of humanity, or those which pertain to man as man. There seems to be some special interposition in their favor to save them from the common calamities which come upon the race.

Neither are they plagued like other men - Margin, “with.” Literally, “And with mankind they are not afflicted,” or smitten. The calamities which come so thickly and heavily on the race do not seem to come upon them. They are favored, prospered, happy, while others are afflicted.
