Psalm 73: It is not cited in the options for various Mass liturgies so no text is provided. Psalm 73 is an hymn of thanksgiving with a feel of the wisdom psalms. The song begins with the singer admitting that he was envious of the wicked, those who treated the poor with contempt and took advantage of everyone, becoming wealthy in the process. They did not feel the trials and tribulations of life and they were arrogant in the face of headship. The singer admitted his desire for these comforts until he found faith in the presence of God.
Once this conversion of heart occurred, he saw the path to death those who did not fear the Lord walked upon. His own sins are before him and he repented of them. For he was like those he envied. The psalm concludes with praise for God whom the singer embraces fully.
