So foolish [was] I, and ignorant: I was [as] a beast before thee.

Psalms 73:22 — KJV

Theological / Devotional

Foolish. Compare Ps. 92:6; Prov. 30:2. The psalmist did not understand the case.

I. The Hebrew pronoun has the emphatic initial position in the verse.

Before thee. The psalmist’s folly would have been bad enough had he been alone, but it was utterly reprehensible under the eye of God (see Ps. 51:4).
