Commentary on Psalms 73:2

Theological / Devotional

But as for me. The phrase concentrates our attention upon the psalmist and the experiences through which he passed in arriving at the solution of the problem of the psalm: Why do bad men prosper, and good men suffer?

Were almost gone. A striking metaphor, meaning that the psalmist had almost lost his faith (see Ps. 44:18).

Well nigh slipped. See Ps. 17:5. The psalmist had been on the verge of slipping from the rock of faith into the pit of skepticism.
