Psalms 73:18-24 New English Translation (NET)

18. Surely you put them in slippery places;you bring them down to ruin.

19. How desolate they become in a mere moment!Terrifying judgments make their demise complete!

20. They are like a dream after one wakes up.O Lord, when you awake you will despise them.

21. Yes, my spirit was bitter,and my insides felt sharp pain.

22. I was ignorant and lacked insight;I was as senseless as an animal before you.

23. But I am continually with you;you hold my right hand.

24. You guide me by your wise advice,and then you will lead me to a position of honor.
