Psalms 73:17-26

17Then I entered the precincts of God’s temple, and understood the destiny of the wicked.

18Surely you put them in slippery places; you bring them down to ruin.

19How desolate they become in a mere moment! Terrifying judgments make their demise complete!

20They are like a dream after one wakes up. O Lord, when you awake you will despise them.

21Yes, my spirit was bitter, and my insides felt sharp pain.

22I was ignorant and lacked insight; I was as senseless as an animal before you.

23But I am continually with you; you hold my right hand.

24You guide me by your wise advice, and then you will lead me to a position of honor.

25Whom do I have in heaven but you? I desire no one but you on earth.

26My flesh and my heart may grow weak, but God always protects my heart and gives me stability.
