Read in context

Psalms 73:11–15 · Berean Standard Bible

11 The wicked say, “How can God know? Does the Most High have knowledge?”

12 Behold, these are the wicked— always carefree as they increase their wealth.

13 Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure; in innocence I have washed my hands.

14 For I am afflicted all day long and punished every morning.

15 If I had said, “I will speak this way,” then I would have betrayed Your children.
