Psalms 73:2 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.

But as for me, my feet were almost gone. The "as for me" is emphatic. I say this not without personal experience of the difficulties which assail one's faith; nay, I was so shaken by temptations to doubt as to the righteousness and goodness of God, because of the prosperity of the wicked and the trials of the godly, that I had almost given up faith altogether.

My steps had well nigh slipped - literally, 'were well near spilled' or "poured out" (Psalms 22:14).
