11And they say: 'How doth God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?'
12Behold, such are the wicked; and they that are always at ease increase riches.
13Surely in vain have I cleansed my heart, and washed my hands in innocency;
14For all the day have I been plagued, and my chastisement came every morning.
15If I had said: 'I will speak thus', behold, I had been faithless to the generation of Thy children.
16And when I pondered how I might know this, it was wearisome in mine eyes;
17Until I entered into the sanctuary of God, and considered their end.
18Surely Thou settest them in slippery places; Thou hurlest them down to utter ruin.
19How are they become a desolation in a moment! They are wholly consumed by terrors.
20As a dream when one awaketh, so, O Lord, when Thou arousest Thyself, Thou wilt despise their semblance.
21For my heart was in a ferment, and I was pricked in my reins.
22But I was brutish, and ignorant; I was as a beast before Thee.
23Nevertheless I am continually with Thee; Thou holdest my right hand.
24Thou wilt guide me with Thy counsel, and afterward receive me with glory.
25Whom have I in heaven but Thee? And beside Thee I desire none upon earth.
