John Calvin Commentary Psalms 73:5

"They are not in trouble as [other] men; Neither are they plagued like [other] men." — Psalms 73:5 (ASV)

They are not in the trouble that is common to man. Here it is declared that the wicked enjoy a delightful repose and are, as it were, by special privilege exempted from the miseries to which humankind in general is subject.

They also are, no doubt, involved in afflictions as well as the good, and God often executes his judgments upon them; but, for the express purpose of trying our faith, he always places some of them, as it were, upon an elevated stage, who appear to be privileged to live in a state of exemption from calamities, as is here described.

Now, when we consider that human life is full of labor and miseries, and that this is the law and condition of living appointed for all, it is a severe temptation to witness the despisers of God indulging themselves in their luxurious pleasures and enjoying great ease, as if they were elevated above the rest of the world into a region of pleasure, where they had a nest for themselves apart.
