Psalm 73:15-20

Good News Translation

¹⁵ If I had said such things,
    I would not be acting as one of your people.
¹⁶ I tried to think this problem through,
    but it was too difficult for me
¹⁷     until I went into your Temple.
Then I understood what will happen to the wicked.

¹⁸ You will put them in slippery places
    and make them fall to destruction!
¹⁹ They are instantly destroyed;
    they go down to a horrible end.
²⁰ They are like a dream that goes away in the morning;
    when you rouse yourself, O Lord, they disappear.
