- 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!
|
- 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.
|
- 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.
|
- 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.
|
- 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.
|
- 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.
