Psalm 73:21

New International Reader's Version

At one time my heart was sad and my spirit was bitter.

See the chapter Copy

He shoots his arrows at me from all sides. Without pity, he stabs me in the kidneys. He spills my insides on the ground.

Don’t be upset because of sinful people. Don’t be jealous of those who do wrong.

Be still and wait patiently for the Lord to act. Don’t be upset when other people succeed. Don’t be upset when they carry out their evil plans.

I saw that proud and sinful people were doing well. And I began to long for what they had.

The arrows from his bag have gone through my heart.
