Psalms 73:16-18 in English

¹⁶ When I thought how I might know this, It was too painful for me;

¹⁷ Until I went into the sanctuary of God, And considered their latter end.

¹⁸ Surely thou settest them in slippery places: Thou castest them down to destruction.

¹⁶ The day is thine, and the night is thine; thou hast prepared the sun and the moon.

¹⁷ Thou hast made all the borders of the earth; thou hast made summer and spring.

¹⁸ Remember this thy creation: an enemy has reproached the Lord, and a foolish people has provoked thy name.

¹⁶ When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;

¹⁷ Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.

¹⁸ Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.

¹⁶ When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;

¹⁷ Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.

¹⁸ Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.

¹⁶ The day is your, and the night is your; you have prepared the sun and the moon.

¹⁷ You have made all the borders of the earth; you have made summer and spring.

¹⁸ Remember this your creation: an enemy has reproached the Lord, and a foolish people has provoked your name.

¹⁶ When I thought how I might know this, it was too painful for me;

¹⁷ Until I went into the sanctuary of God, and considered their latter end.

¹⁸ Surely thou settest them in slippery places: thou castest them down to destruction.

¹⁶ And when I tried to think about all this, it was very difficult for me to understand it.

¹⁷ But when I went to your temple, you spoke to me, and I understood what will happen to the wicked people after they die.

¹⁸ Now I know that you will surely put them in slippery places, and they will fall down and die.

¹⁶ The day is your, and the night is your; you have prepared the sun and the moon.

¹⁷ You have made all the borders of the earth; you have made summer and spring.

¹⁸ Remember this your creation: an enemy has reproached the Lord, and a foolish people has provoked your name.

¹⁶ When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me—

¹⁷ until I entered God’s sanctuary, and considered their latter end.

¹⁸ Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction.

¹⁶ When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me—

¹⁷ until I entered God’s sanctuary, and considered their latter end.

¹⁸ Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction.

¹⁶ When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me—

¹⁷ until I entered God’s sanctuary, and considered their latter end.

¹⁸ Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction.

¹⁶ When my thoughts were turned to see the reason of this, it was a weariness in my eyes;

¹⁷ Till I went into God's holy place, and saw the end of the evil-doers.

¹⁸ You put their feet where there was danger of slipping, so that they go down into destruction.

¹⁶ When I thought to be able to know this, it was a grievous task in mine eyes;

¹⁷ Until I went into the sanctuaries of God; then understood I their end.

¹⁸ Truly thou settest them in slippery places, thou castest them down in ruins.

¹⁶ Thine is the day, and thine is the night: thou hast made the morning light and the sun.

¹⁷ Thou hast made all the borders of the earth: the summer and the spring were formed by thee.

¹⁸ Remember this, the enemy hath reproached the Lord: and a foolish people hath provoked thy name.

¹⁶ So I thought about it and tried to understand, but it looked like a lot of hard work to me—

¹⁷ until I went into God's Temple. Then I understood what happens to the wicked in the end.

¹⁸ For you send them on a slippery path; you throw them down to destruction.

¹⁶ Then thought I to know this, but it was too painefull for me,

¹⁷ Vntill I went into the Sanctuarie of God: then vnderstoode I their ende.

¹⁸ Surely thou hast set them in slipperie places, and castest them downe into desolation.

¹⁶ And when I pondered how I might know this, it was wearisome in mine eyes;

¹⁷ Until I entered into the sanctuary of God, and considered their end.

¹⁸ Surely Thou settest them in slippery places; Thou hurlest them down to utter ruin.

¹⁶ When I thought to know this, It was too painful for me;

¹⁷ Until I went into the sanctuary of God; Then understood I their end.

¹⁸ Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: Thou castedst them down into destruction.

¹⁶ And when I should think to know this, it would be trouble in my eyes;

¹⁷ Until I enter into the sanctuary of God; and understand what their future will be.

¹⁸ Surely thou placest them on slippery spots: thou lettest them fall down into destruction.

¹⁶ The day is thine, and the night is thine; Thou hast prepared the sun and the moon.

¹⁷ Thou hast made all the borders of the earth; Thou hast made summer and spring.

¹⁸ Remember this thy creation: an enemy has reproached the Lord, And a foolish people has provoked thy name.

¹⁶ So, when I studied to know this, It was painful to my eyes;

¹⁷ Until I went into the sanctuaries of God, And considered what was their end.

¹⁸ Behold! thou hast set them on slippery places; Thou castest them down into unseen pits.

¹⁶ So I sought to understand it, but a wearisome task it seemed:

¹⁷ till I entered the holy world of God and saw clearly their destiny.

¹⁸ Yes, you set them on slippery places; down to destruction you hurl them.

¹⁶ So I sought to understand it, but a wearisome task it seemed:

¹⁷ till I entered the holy world of God and saw clearly their destiny.

¹⁸ Yes, you set them on slippery places; down to destruction you hurl them.

¹⁶ When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me;

¹⁷ Until I entered God’s sanctuary, and considered their latter end.

¹⁸ Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction.

¹⁶ Though I tried to understand these things, it was too difficult for me.

¹⁷ Then I went into God's sanctuary and came to understand their fate.

¹⁸ Surely you put them in slippery places; you bring them down to ruin.

¹⁶ When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me—

¹⁷ until I entered God’s sanctuary, and considered their latter end.

¹⁸ Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction.

¹⁶ When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me—

¹⁷ until I entered God’s sanctuary, and considered their latter end.

¹⁸ Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction.

¹⁶ When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;

¹⁷ Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then I understood their end.

¹⁸ Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou didst cast them down into destruction.

¹⁶ When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me—

¹⁷ until I entered God’s sanctuary, and considered their latter end.

¹⁸ Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction.

¹⁶ When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me—

¹⁷ until I entered God’s sanctuary, and considered their latter end.

¹⁸ Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction.

¹⁶ I guessed, that I should know this; but too much travail is before me.

¹⁷ Till I enter into the saintuary of God; and understand in the last things of them.

¹⁸ Nevertheless for guiles or treach-eries thou hast put to them; thou castedest them down, while they were raised.

¹⁶ I guessed, that I should know this; (but too much) travail is before me. (I tried to work through all of this; but it was too much for me.)

¹⁷ Till I enter into the saintuary of God; and understand in the last things of them. (Until I entered into the sanctuary of God; and there I understood their last things, that is, their end.)

¹⁸ Nevertheless for guiles thou hast put to them; thou castedest them down, while they were raised. (For thou shalt put them in slippery places; thou shalt throw them down, after they be raised up.)

¹⁶ And I think to know this, Perverseness it is in mine eyes,

¹⁷ Till I come in to the sanctuaries of God, I attend to their latter end.

¹⁸ Only, in slippery places Thou dost set them, Thou hast caused them to fall to desolations.
