Asaph is a worship leader and prophet in the time of David and Solomon, but in Psalm 73 he confesses that he almost lost his faith in God. Bitterness and envy over what seem to be an unfair situation lead him to a spiritual crisis. Though he sees God's faithfulness to Israel, Asaph struggles to understand why it seems that wicked people are so prosperous and healthy.
The psalm ends with a confirmation of faith in the Lord. Compared to everything the world may offer, God is far better. Not only can believers trust in God's plan during earthly life, they also look forward to eternity in His presence. Those who reject Him, on the other hand, face destruction.
