Psalm 73:15-20
English Standard Version

15 If I had said, “I will speak thus,”
    I would have betrayed (A)the generation of your children.

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.

Psalm 73:15-20
New International Version

15 If I had spoken out like that,
    I would have betrayed your children.
16 When I tried to understand(A) all this,
    it troubled me deeply
17 till I entered the sanctuary(B) of God;
    then I understood their final destiny.(C)

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