John Trapp on Psalms 73:13

Verſ. 13. Verily I have cleanſed my heart in vain] For all is to little purpoſe, if the cards play on this faſhion, if the good muſt be thus extremely under, and the bad a top of the wheel. Surely I have troubled my ſelf to no purpoſe or profit; If it be ſo, why am I thus? as ſhe ſaid. I read of a prophane ſouldier, who at the ſiege of a Town, paſſing a place of danger, was heard ſwearing, and when one that ſtood by warned him, ſaying, Fellow-ſouldier, do not ſwear, the bullets flye, he anſwered, They that ſwear come off as well as thoſe that pray; But ſoon after this, a ſhot hit him, and down he fell. It is not ſafe for Saints to ſymbolize with ſinners in ſuch deſperate ſpeeches; leſt the Lord hear it and be diſpleaſed.

Omne trahit ſe cum numinis ira malum.Ovid.
