- 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!

- If I had said, "I will speak thus," I would have betrayed your children.
- When I tried to understand all this, it was oppressive to me
- till I entered the sanctuary of God; then I understood their final destiny.
- Surely you place them on slippery ground; you cast them down to ruin.
- How suddenly are they destroyed, completely swept away by terrors!

- 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.

- As a dream when one awakes, so when you arise, O Lord, you will despise them as fantasies.
- When my heart was grieved and my spirit embittered,
- I was senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before you.
- Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand.
- You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory.

- 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.

- Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
- My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
- Those who are far from you will perish; you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.
- But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds.
