“For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.”
The statement that the psalmist was envious of the arrogant and saw the prosperity of the wicked articulates the specific source of the crisis: the apparent flourishing of those opposed to God. The envy indicates that the psalmist was tempted to question the value of righteousness. This verse identifies the particular crisis of faith: the wicked seem to prosper.
