“For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.”
King James Version (KJV)
73:12 Behold - These seem to be the words of the psalmist, summing up the matter.
73:13 In vain - Hence I was sometimes tempted, to think that religion was a vain, unprofitable thing. True religion is here described by its two principal parts, the cleansing of the heart, and the hands.
73:15 Offend - By grieving, discouraging and tempting them to revolt from God.
73:16 To know - To find out the reason of this providence.
