Asaph goes on in verse 13 of Psalm 73:
“Surely in vain have I kept my heart pure.
In vain have I washed my hands in innocence.
All day long I have been plagued;
I have been punished every morning.”
Wow, Asaph sounds a lot like Job!
When I read these verses years ago, anger rose
up in my heart. Asaph was asking my questions
and drawing my conclusions. It seemed to me
that people who loved God and lived a good
life had more problems compared to the
arrogant bullies who lived charmed lives.

Where is the justice in that?
