Psalms 73:16

When I tried to make sense of this, it was troubling to me. ¹ 

When I tried to understand all this, it was oppressive to me

When I pondered to understand this, It was troublesome in my sight

So I tried to understand why the wicked prosper. But what a difficult task it is!

Still, when I tried to figure it out, all I got was a splitting headache...

When my thoughts were turned to see the reason of this, it was a weariness in my eyes;

But when I thought how to understand this, it seemed to me a wearisome task,

When I thought how to understand this, It was too painful for me––

When I tried to make sense of this, it was troubling to me. ¹ 

¹ tn Heb “and [when] I pondered to understand this, troubling it [was] in my eyes.”
