16. When I tried to understand all this,it seemed hopeless
17. until I entered God’s sanctuary.Then I understood their destiny.
18. Indeed, You put them in slippery places;You make them fall into ruin.
19. How suddenly they become a desolation!They come to an end, swept away by terrors.
20. Like one waking from a dream,Lord, when arising, You will despise their image.
21. When I became embitteredand my innermost being was wounded,
22. I was stupid and didn’t understand;I was an unthinking animal toward You.
23. Yet I am always with You;You hold my right hand.
