Psalms 73:17-25

¹⁷Until I enter into the sanctuary of God; and understand what their future will be.

¹⁸Surely thou placest them on slippery spots: thou lettest them fall down into destruction.

¹⁹How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they perish, they come to their end with terrific events.

²⁰As a dream after awaking, O Lord, reject thou in wrath their image.

²¹For it fermented in my heart, and in my reins I felt sharp thrusts;

²²But I was indeed foolish, and I knew it not: I was as a thoughtless beast with thee.

²³Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast seized hold of me by my right hand.

²⁴With thy counsel wilt thou guide me, and afterward take me on to glory.

²⁵Whom have I in heaven? and beside thee I desire nothing upon earth.
