Psalms 73:19-28

¹⁹How are they suddenly made desolate! they pass away, consumed with terrors.

²⁰As a dream, when one awaketh, wilt thou, Lord, on arising despise their image.

²¹When my heart was in a ferment, and I was pricked in my reins,

²²Then I was brutish and knew nothing; I was as a beast with thee.

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

²⁴Thou wilt guide me by thy counsel, and after the glory, thou wilt receive me.

²⁵Whom have I in the heavens? and there is none upon earth I desire beside thee.

²⁶My flesh and my heart faileth: God is the rock of my heart and my portion for ever.

²⁷For behold, they that are far from thee shall perish; thou destroyest every one that goeth a whoring from thee.

²⁸But as for me, it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord Jehovah, that I may declare all thy works.
