Psalms 73:20-23 in English

²⁰ As a dream when one awaketh, So, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou wilt despise their image.

²¹ For my soul was grieved, And I was pricked in my heart:

²² So brutish was I, and ignorant; I was as a beast before thee.

²³ Nevertheless I am continually with thee: Thou hast holden my right hand.

²⁰ Look upon thy covenant: for the dark places of the earth are filled with the habitations of iniquity.

²¹ Let not the afflicted and shamed one be rejected: the poor and needy shall praise thy name.

²² Arise, O God, plead thy cause: remember thy reproaches that come from the foolish one all the day.

²³ Forget not the voice of thy suppliants: let the pride of them that hate thee continually ascend before thee.

²⁰ As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.

²² As for me, I was foolish, and without knowledge; I was like a beast before you.

²³ But still I am ever with you; you have taken me by my right hand.

²³ Yet am I ever under thy care; By my right hand thou dost hold me up.

²⁰ Like a dream, when one wakes, shall they be, whose phantoms the waker despises.

²¹ So my bitterness of mind and the pain that stabbed my heart

²³ and I am ever with thee. Thou heldest my right hand,

²⁰ As the dream of men that (a)rise; Lord, thou shalt drive their image to nought, in thy city. (Like a dream when one awaketh, and it vanisheth; so, Lord, thou shalt drive them down into nothing or until they completely disappear.)

²¹ For mine heart is enflamed, and my reins be changed; (When my heart was enflamed, and my feelings were hurt;)

²² and I am driven to nought, and I knew not. As a work beast I am made with thee; (and I was driven down into nothing, and I knew nothing; yea, I was made like a work beast before thee;)

²³ and I am ever with thee. Thou heldest my right hand, (but still I am ever with thee. Thou holdest my right hand,)

²⁰ As a dream from awakening, O Lord, In awaking, their image Thou despisest.

²¹ For my heart doth show itself violent, And my reins prick themselves,

²² And I am brutish, and do not know. A beast I have been with Thee.

²³ And I am continually with Thee, Thou hast laid hold on my right hand.
