Psalms 73:20

Compare all

18 Surely ^aYou set them in slippery places;
You cast them down to destruction.

19 Oh, how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment!
They are utterly consumed with terrors.

20 As a dream when one awakes,
So, Lord, when You awake,
You shall despise their image.

21 Thus my heart was grieved,
And I was¹ vexed in my mind.

22 ^aI was so foolish and ignorant;
I was like a beast before You.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Psalms 73:19

Psalms 73:21 >>

They awake - Out of the pleasant dream of this vain life. Despise - Thou shalt make them despicable both to themselves and to all others; raise them to shame, and everlasting contempt. Image - All their felicity and glory, which shall be evidently discerned to be, no real or substantial thing, but a mere image or shadow.
