Psalm 72:16

16 When I tried to understand all this,

it troubled me deeply

16 But when I thought how to understand this,

it seemed to me a wearisome task,

16 When I thought to know this,

It was too painful for me;

16 So I tried to understand why the wicked prosper.

But what a difficult task it is!

16 When I thought how to understand this,

It was too painful for me—

16 I tried to understand all this,

but it was too hard for me to see

16 When I thought how I might know this,

It was too painful for me;

16 When I thought to be able to know this, it was a grievous task in mine eyes;

16 But when I tried to understand this, 

it was too difficult for me. 

16 When I tried to understand all this,

it seemed hopeless

16 But when I thought how to understand this,

it seemed to me a wearisome task,

16 When I thought about how to understand this,

it was troubling in my eyes

16 I tried to understand it all.

But it was more than I could handle.

16 When I pondered to understand this,

It was troublesome in my sight
