Psalms 73:17-24

17Until I came into the 1 2sanctuary of God; Then I perceived their 3end.18Surely You set them in 4slippery places; You cast them down to 5 6destruction.19How they are 7 8destroyed in a moment! They are utterly swept away by 9sudden terrors!20Like a 10dream when one awakes, O Lord, when 11aroused, You will 12despise their 13form.

21When my 14heart was embittered And I was 15pierced 16within,22Then I was 17senseless and ignorant; I was like 18a 19beast 20before You.23Nevertheless 21I am continually with You; You have taken hold of my right hand.24With Your counsel You will 22guide me, And afterward 23receive me 24to glory.
