Psalms 73:17-26

17Only when I came into God’s holy place did I ⌞finally⌟ understand what would happen to them.

18You put them in slippery places and make them fall into ruin.

19They are suddenly destroyed. They are completely swept away by terror!

20As ⌞someone⌟ gets rid of a dream when he wakes up, so you, O Lord, get rid of the thought of them when you wake up.

21When my heart was filled with bitterness and my mind was seized ⌞with envy⌟,

22I was stupid, and I did not understand. I was like a dumb animal in your presence.

23Yet, I am always with you. You hold on to my right hand.

24With your advice you guide me, and in the end you will take me to glory.

25As long as I have you, I don’t need anyone else in heaven or on earth.

26My body and mind may waste away, but God remains the foundation of my life and my inheritance forever.
