- If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.
- When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
- Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.
- Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.
- How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
|
- If I had said, "I will speak thus," Behold, I would have betrayed the generation of Your children.
- When I pondered to understand this, It was troublesome in my sight
- Until I came into the sanctuary of God; Then I perceived their end.
- Surely You set them in slippery places; You cast them down to destruction.
- How they are destroyed in a moment! They are utterly swept away by sudden terrors!
|
- As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.
- Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
- So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.
- Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
- Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
|
- Like a dream when one awakes, O Lord, when aroused, You will despise their form.
- When my heart was embittered And I was pierced within,
- Then I was senseless and ignorant; I was like a beast before You.
- Nevertheless I am continually with You; You have taken hold of my right hand.
- With Your counsel You will guide me, And afterward receive me to glory.
|
- Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
- My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
- For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
- But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
|
- Whom have I in heaven but You? And besides You, I desire nothing on earth.
- My flesh and my heart may fail, But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
- For, behold, those who are far from You will perish; You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to You.
- But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, That I may tell of all Your works.
