Psalms 73:19-28

¹⁹How are they become a desolation in a moment! They are wholly consumed by terrors.

²⁰As a dream when one awaketh, so, O Lord, when Thou arousest Thyself, Thou wilt despise their semblance.

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

²²But I was brutish, and ignorant; I was as a beast before Thee.

²³Nevertheless I am continually with Thee; Thou holdest my right hand.

²⁴Thou wilt guide me with Thy counsel, and afterward receive me with glory.

²⁵Whom have I in heaven but Thee? And beside Thee I desire none upon earth.

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

²⁷For, lo, they that go far from Thee shall perish; Thou dost destroy all them that go astray from Thee.

²⁸But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all Thy works.
