- 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!
|
- 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 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.
