“Righteous art thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously? talk: or, reason the case with thee”
The Prophet confesseth God to be just in all his doings, although man be not able to give a reason of all his acts. This question hath been always a great tentation to the godly, to see the wicked enemies of God in prosperity, and his dear children in adversity, as Job 21:7 ; Ps. 37:1 and 73:3; Hab. 1:3 .
