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.
22. I was so foolish and ignorant;I was like a beast before You.
23. Nevertheless I am continually with You;You hold me by my right hand.
24. You will guide me with Your counsel,And afterward receive me to glory.
25. Whom have I in heaven but You?And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You.
26. My flesh and my heart fail;But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
27. For indeed, those who are far from You shall perish;You have destroyed all those who desert You for harlotry.
28. But it is good for me to draw near to God;I have put my trust in the Lord God,That I may declare all Your works.
