Psalms 73:17-26

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.12

23Nevertheless I am continuallyH8548 with thee: thou hast holdenH270 me by my rightH3225 handH3027.

24Thou shalt guideH5148 me with thy counselH6098, and afterwardH310 receiveH3947 me to gloryH3519.

25Whom have I in heavenH8064 but thee? and there is none upon earthH776 that I desireH2654 beside thee.

26My fleshH7607 and my heartH3824 failethH3615: but GodH430 is the strengthH6697 of my heartH3824, and my portionH2506 for everH5769.3
