17Until I went into the sanctuary of God; Then understood I their end.
18Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: Thou castedst them down into destruction.
19How are they brought into desolation, as 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.
21Thus my heart was grieved, And I was pricked in my reins.
22So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.
23Nevertheless I am continually with thee: Thou hast holden me by 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 besides thee.
26My flesh and my heart faileth: But God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
