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 was
1 vexed in my mind.
