Psalms 73:17-26

17until I entered the Sanctuary of God, and perceived their end.

18Surely You put them in slippery places. You hurled them down to destruction.

19How suddenly they became a ruin— terminated, consumed by terrors.

20Like a dream when one awakes, thus when You arise, my Lord, You will despise their form.

21When my heart was embittered and I was pierced in my heart,

22I was brutish and ignorant. I was like a beast before You.

23Yet I am continually with You. You hold my right hand.

24You guide me with Your counsel, and afterward You will take me into glory.

25Whom have I in heaven but You? On earth there is none I desire besides You.

26My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
