Commentary on Psalms 73:18

Theological / Devotional

Destruction. That which restores the psalmist’s faith is his recognition of the end of the wicked in this world, of their downfall in the midst of their prosperity. Loss of perspective had kept the psalmist from seeing the retribution that often came upon the wicked, until he went into the sanctuary and cast himself wholly upon God. He had forgotten that Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by fire from heaven; that Pharaoh’s land was ruined by the plagues and his armies were drowned in the sea.
