Psalm 73:13-20

Authorized (King James) Version

¹³ Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain,
and washed my hands in innocency.
¹⁴ For all the day long have I been plagued,
and chastened every morning.
¹⁵ If I say, I will speak thus;
behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.
¹⁶ When I thought to know this,
it was too painful for me;
¹⁷ until I went into the sanctuary of God;
then understood I their end.
¹⁸ Surely thou didst set them in slippery places:
thou castedst them down into destruction.
¹⁹ How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment!
they are utterly consumed with terrors.
²⁰ As a dream when one awaketh;
so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.
