The psalmist practices discernment
Psalm 73:4 NEW JERUSALEM BIBLE
4 For them no such thing as pain
untroubled their comfortable portliness
exempt from the cares which are the human lot
they have no part in Adam's afflictions.
The psalmist can see that those people were living for their own pleasure,
eagerly following fashion and absorbed in money and fine things.
They were living the dynamic of sin-prone flesh which we can refer to
with St Paul,s Greek word for fallen human nature "sarx"
