Psalms 73:15-25

1. 15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.

2. 16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;

3. 17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.

4. 18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.

5. 19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.

6. 20 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.

7. 21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.

8. 22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.

9. 23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.

10. 24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.

11. 25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
