18 Truly you set them in (A)slippery places;
    you make them fall to ruin.
19 How they are destroyed (B)in a moment,
    swept away utterly by (C)terrors!
20 Like (D)a dream when one awakes,
    O Lord, when (E)you rouse yourself, you despise them as phantoms.
21 When my soul was embittered,
    when I was pricked in heart,
22 I was (F)brutish and ignorant;
    I was like (G)a beast toward you.

23 Nevertheless, I am continually with you;
    you (H)hold my right hand.
24 You (I)guide me with your counsel,
    and afterward you will (J)receive me to glory.
25 (K)Whom have I in heaven but you?
    And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.
26 (L)My flesh and my heart may fail,
    but God is (M)the strength[a] of my heart and my (N)portion (O)forever.
