Psalms 73:22 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

As a beast. Heb. beasts, which may signify a great beast; a most stupid and sottish creature, like one not only void of grace, but of reason too; for reason itself, especially assisted by the Holy Scriptures, did sufficiently discover that, all things considered, I had no sufficient cause to envy the prosperity of wicked men. I minded only present things, as the brutes do. and did not consider things to come, as reasonable creatures do, and ought to do. Before thee; in thy sight or judgment, and therefore in truth, Romans 2:2, howsoever I seemed to myself or others to have some degree of reason and discretion.
