Psalm 73:17-20

King James Version

¹⁷Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.

¹⁸Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.

¹⁹How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.

²⁰As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.

Psalm 73:17-20

New International Version

¹⁷till I entered the sanctuary^(A) of God;
then I understood their final destiny.^(B)

¹⁸Surely you place them on slippery ground;^(C)
    you cast them down to ruin.^(D)
¹⁹How suddenly^(E) are they destroyed,
    completely swept away^(F) by terrors!
²⁰They are like a dream^(G) when one awakes;^(H)
    when you arise, Lord,
    you will despise them as fantasies.^(I)
