Psalms 73:21

Compare all

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.
