Psalms 73:17-24
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 73
17Until I entered the sanctuary of God; Then I perceived their end. 18You indeed put them on slippery ground; You dropped them into ruin. 19How they are destroyed in a moment! They are utterly swept away by sudden terrors! 20Like a dream when one awakes, Lord, when stirred, You will despise their image. 21When my heart was embittered And I was pierced within, 22Then I was stupid and ignorant; I was like an animal before You. 23Nevertheless I am continually with You; You have taken hold of my right hand. 24You will guide me with Your plan, And afterward receive me to glory.King James Version
Chapter 73
17Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end. 18Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction. 19How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors. 20As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 73
17until I entered God's sanctuary. Then I understood their destiny. 18Indeed, you put them in slippery places; you make them fall into ruin. 19How suddenly they become a desolation! They come to an end, swept away by terrors.
20Like one waking from a dream, Lord, when arising, you will despise their image.
21When I became embittered and my innermost being was wounded,
22I was stupid and didn't understand; I was an unthinking animal toward you.
23Yet I am always with you; you hold my right hand.
24You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me up in glory.
New Living Translation
Chapter 73
17Then I went into your sanctuary, O God, and I finally understood the destiny of the wicked. 18Truly, you put them on a slippery path and send them sliding over the cliff to destruction. 19In an instant they are destroyed, completely swept away by terrors. 20When you arise, O Lord, you will laugh at their silly ideas as a person laughs at dreams in the morning.English Standard Version
Chapter 73
17until I went into the sanctuary of God; then I discerned their end. 18Truly you set them in slippery places; you make them fall to ruin. 19How they are destroyed in a moment, swept away utterly by terrors! 20Like a dream when one awakes, O Lord, when you rouse yourself, you despise them as phantoms. 21When my soul was embittered, when I was pricked in heart, 22I was brutish and ignorant; I was like a beast toward you. 23Nevertheless, I am continually with you; you hold my right hand. 24You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me to glory.New International Version
