Psalms 73:13-22

13Verily I have cleansedH2135 my heartH3824 in vainH7385, and washedH7364 my handsH3709 in innocencyH5356.

14For all the dayH3117 long have I been plaguedH5060, and chastenedH8433 every morningH1242.1

15If I sayH559, I will speakH5608 thusH3644; behold, I should offendH898 against the generationH1755 of thy childrenH1121.

16When I thoughtH2803 to knowH3045 this, it was too painfulH5999 for meH5869;2

17Until I wentH935 into the sanctuaryH4720 of GodH410; then understoodH995 I their endH319.

18Surely thou didst setH7896 them in slippery placesH2513: thou castedst them downH5307 into destructionH4876.

19How are they brought into desolationH8047, as in a momentH7281! they are utterlyH5486 consumedH8552 with terrorsH1091.

20As a dreamH2472 when one awakethH6974; so, O LordH136, when thou awakestH5782, thou shalt despiseH959 their imageH6754.

21Thus my heartH3824 was grievedH2556, and I was prickedH8150 in my reinsH3629.

22So foolishH1198 was I, and ignorantH3045: I was as a beastH929 before thee.34
