- 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!
|
- 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 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.
