18Yes, you set them on slippery places; down to destruction you hurl them.
19One moment and then what a horror of ruin! They are finished and ended in terrors.
20Like a dream, when one wakes, shall they be, whose phantoms the waker despises.
21So my bitterness of mind and the pain that stabbed my heart
22show how dull I was and stupid just like a beast before you.
23But I am always with you, you have hold of my right hand.
24By a plan of yours you guide me and will afterward take me to glory.
25Whom have I in the heavens but you? And on earth there is none I desire beside you.
26Though flesh and heart waste away, yet God is the rock of my heart, yet God is my portion forever.
