Psalms 73:11-24

¹¹Wicked people say to themselves, “God will certainly not RHQ know what we have done; people say that he is greater than any other god, but he does not know everything.”

¹²That is what wicked people are like; they never worry about anything, and they are always becoming richer.

¹³So, God, I think it is useless that I have RHQ always done what you want me to, and that I have not sinned.

¹⁴All day long I have problems, and every morning you punish me.

¹⁵If I had said the things that the wicked people say, I would have been sinning against your people.

¹⁶And when I tried to think about all this, it was very difficult for me to understand it.

¹⁷But when I went to your temple, you spoke to me, and I understood what will happen to the wicked people after they die.

¹⁸Now I know that you will surely put them in slippery places, and they will fall down and die.

¹⁹They will be destroyed instantly; they will die in terrible ways.

²⁰They will disappear as quickly as a dream disappears when a person awakes in the morning; Lord, when you arise, you will ◄cause them to disappear/forget all about them►.

²¹When I felt sad/bitter , and brokenhearted,

²²I was stupid and ignorant, and I behaved like an animal toward you.

²³But I am always close to you, and you hold my hand.

²⁴You guide me by teaching me, and ◄at the end of my life/when I die►, you will receive me and honor me.
