📚 Historical Context
This is from Psalm 73, written by Asaph, a temple musician and worship leader during King David's time. Asaph had been struggling with doubts about God's justice as he watched wicked people prosper while the righteous suffered. This verse comes right after he describes how he envied the arrogant and was troubled by seeing evil people succeed.
