Psalms 73:15
Compare all
13 Surely I have1 cleansed my heart in avain,
And washed my hands in innocence. 
14 For all day long I have been plagued,
And chastened every morning.
15 If I had said, “I will speak thus,”
Behold, I would have been untrue to the generation of Your children.
16 When I thought how to understand this,
It was1 too painful for me— 
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God;
Then I understood their aend. 
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. 
23 Nevertheless I am continually with You;
You hold me by my right hand.
24 aYou will guide me with Your counsel,
And afterward receive me to glory. 
25 aWhom have I in heaven but You?
And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. 
26 aMy flesh and my heart fail;
But God is the1 strength of my heart and my bportion forever. 
27 For indeed, athose who are far from You shall perish;
You have destroyed all those who1 desert You for harlotry.
