Contextual Overview

¹ Truely the Lorde is very good vnto Israel: vnto such as haue a cleane heart. ² Neuerthelesse, my feete were almost gone from me: my steppes had almost slypt. ³ For I enuied at the case of the foolishe: I sawe the wicked [flowe] in all kynde of prosperitie. ⁴ For there be no bondes of death that can holde them: and the galaries of their houses be strong. ⁵ They come in no misfortune lyke other folke: neither are they plagued lyke other men. ⁶ And this is the cause that pride compasse them rounde about: and crueltie couereth them as a garment. ⁷ Their eyes stande out for fatnesse: and the cogitations of their heartes do passe from them. ⁸ They make other dissolute, they speake oppression with iniurie: they talke proudely and presumptuously. ⁹ For they stretch foorth their mouth vnto the heauen: and their tongue goeth through the worlde. ¹⁰ Therfore [God] his people turneth thither: and there is drawen vnto them waters in a full [cuppe.]

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Behold, these are the ungodly,.... Who say and do as before declared; such as these must be without the knowledge of God, the fear, love, and worship of him: who prosper in the world; in worldly and temporal things, in their bodies and outward estates, but not in their souls and spiritual things: "in this world", as the Targum is; all their prosperity is here; their good things are in this life, their evil things will be in that to come; though ungodly, they prosper in the world, and as long as they are in it; or they are at peace and in case, and are quiet; they have nothing to disturb them, they are not in outward trouble, and their sins do not distress them, and they have no concern about another world:

they increase in riches; which they are in the pursuit of, and overtake and enjoy in great abundance; whereby they become mighty and powerful, as the word o for "riches" signifies: these words are the observation of the psalmist, and which was the occasion of the following temptation he was led into.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world - This is also to be understood as the language of the good man perplexed and embarrassed by the fact that the wicked are prosperous and happy. The meaning is, “Lo, these are wicked people - people of undoubted depravity; they are people who live regardless of God; and yet they are peaceful, tranquil, happy, prospered.” This was one of the facts which so much embarrassed the psalmist. If there had been any doubt about the character of those people, the case would have been different. But there was none. They were people whose character for wickedness was well known, and yet they were permitted to live in peace and prosperity, as if they were the favorites of heaven. The literal meaning of the words rendered “who prosper in the world” is, “tranquil (or secure) for the age;” that is, forever, or constantly. They know no changes; they see no reverses; they are the same through life. They are always tranquil, calm, happy, successful.

They increase in riches - literally, “They become great in substance.” They make constant accumulations in wealth, until they become great.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 73:12. These are the ungodly — The people still speak. It is the ungodly that prosper, the irreligious and profane.
