New King James Version

Psalms 73:16-21 New King James Version (NKJV)

16. When I thought how to understand this,It was too painful for me—

17. Until I went into the sanctuary of God;Then I understood their end.

18. Surely You set them in slippery places;You cast them down to destruction.

19. Oh, how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment!They are utterly consumed with terrors.

20. As a dream when one awakes,So, Lord, when You awake,You shall despise their image.

21. Thus my heart was grieved,And I was vexed in my mind.
