Psalms 73:7
5 They are free of the burdens others carry; they are not afflicted like other men.
6 Therefore pride is their necklace; a garment of violence covers them.
From their prosperity proceeds iniquity; the imaginations of their hearts run wild.
8 They mock and speak with malice; with arrogance they threaten oppression.
9 They set their mouths against the heavens, and their tongues strut across the earth.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
