TSNTyndale Study Notes:

Ps 73 This wisdom psalm examines the injustice of the prosperity of the wicked. The psalmist affirms that God is good to the godly but his own experience differs (73:2-12). Nearly overcome by his doubts (73:13-16), the psalmist meets the Lord in the sanctuary and gains a perspective that stretches beyond his life and renews his confidence in God (73:17-26). His disturbing doubts stir a greater passion for truth. He knows that he can trust God and that God will rescue him (73:27-28).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְ⁠עֵינָֽ⁠י

in/on/at/with,eyes,me

Here, the author’s eyes represent his evaluation or estimation as he tried to understand why wicked people seemed to prosper and he suffered. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to me” or “to think about”
