PSALMS 73:14-25

¹⁴For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.

¹⁵If I had said, I will speak thus; behold, I had dealt treacherously with the generation of thy children.

¹⁶When I thought how I might know this, it was too painful for me;

¹⁷Until I went into the sanctuary of God, and considered their latter end.

¹⁸Surely thou settest them in slippery places: thou castest them down to destruction.

¹⁹How are they become a desolation in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.

²⁰As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.

²¹For my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins:

²²So brutish was I, and ignorant; I was as a beast before thee.

²³Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden my right hand.

²⁴Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.

²⁵Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
