Good News Bible

Psalms 73:17-24 Good News Bible (GNB)

17. until I went into your Temple.Then I understood what will happen to the wicked.

18. You will put them in slippery placesand make them fall to destruction!

19. They are instantly destroyed;they go down to a horrible end.

20. They are like a dream that goes away in the morning;when you rouse yourself, O Lord, they disappear.

21. When my thoughts were bitterand my feelings were hurt,

22. I was as stupid as an animal;I did not understand you.

23. Yet I always stay close to you,and you hold me by the hand.

24. You guide me with your instructionand at the end you will receive me with honour.
