Psalms 73:12-22

12Behold, these are the ungodlyH7563, who prosperH7961 in the worldH5769; they increaseH7685 in richesH2428. 13Verily I have cleansedH2135 my heartH3824 in vainH7385, and washedH7364 my handsH3709 in innocencyH5356. 14For all the dayH3117 long have I been afflictedH5060, and chastenedH8433 every morningH1242.1

15If I sayH559, I will speakH5608 thusH3644; behold, I should offendH898against 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 I understoodH995 their endH319. 18Surely thou didst setH7896 them in slippery placesH2513: thou didst cast 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
