Psalms 73:16 in Context — Psalms 73

14 Chaque jour je suis frappé, Tous les matins mon châtiment est là.

15 Si je disais: Je veux parler comme eux, Voici, je trahirais la race de tes enfants.

16 Quand j’ai réfléchi là-dessus pour m’éclairer, La difficulté fut grande à mes yeux,

17 Jusqu’à ce que j’eusse pénétré dans les sanctuaires de Dieu, Et que j’eusse pris garde au sort final des méchants.

18 Oui, tu les places sur des voies glissantes, Tu les fais tomber et les mets en ruines.
