Psalm 73:15-20

Modern English Version

¹⁵ If I said, “I will speak thus,”
    I would have betrayed the generation of Your children.
¹⁶ When I thought to understand this,
    it was troublesome in my eyes,
¹⁷ until I went into the sanctuary of God;
    then I understood their end.

¹⁸ Surely You have set them in slippery places;
    You have brought them down to ruin.
¹⁹ How they come to desolation, as in a moment!
    They have come to an end, utterly consumed with terrors.
²⁰ As a dream when one awakes,
    so, O Lord, when You awake,
    You will despise their form.
