Psalm 73:21

New American Bible - revised edition

Since my heart was embittered and my soul deeply wounded,

See the chapter Copy

his arrows strike me from all directions. He pierces my sides without mercy, pours out my gall upon the ground.

Of David. Do not be provoked by evildoers; do not envy those who do wrong.

Be still before the Lord; wait for him. Do not be provoked by the prosperous, nor by malicious schemers.

Because I was envious of the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

He pierced my kidneys with shafts from his quiver.
