SCRIPTURE

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

They are not in trouble, as other men
Either of body or of mind, as the saints are, who through many tribulations enter the kingdom; or are not in "labour" F8 , do not labour for food and raiment, or get their bread by the sweat of their brow, as poor men do; nor are weary, so Arama: "neither are they plagued like other men"; smitten of God, corrected, and chastised by him, as his children are; the rod of God is not upon them, (Job 21:9) .
