Psalm 73:15-20

English Standard Version

¹⁶ But when I thought how to understand this,
    it seemed to me ^(B)a wearisome task,
¹⁷ until I went into ^(C)the sanctuary of God;
    then I discerned their ^(D)end.

¹⁸ Truly you set them in ^(E)slippery places;
    you make them fall to ruin.
¹⁹ How they are destroyed ^(F)in a moment,
    swept away utterly by ^(G)terrors!
²⁰ Like ^(H)a dream when one awakes,
    O Lord, when ^(I)you rouse yourself, you despise them as phantoms.
