17 Only when I came into God’s holy placedid I ⌊finally⌋ understand what would happen to them.
18 You put them in slippery placesand make them fall into ruin.
19 They are suddenly destroyed.They are completely swept away by terror!
20 As ⌊someone⌋ gets rid of a dream when he wakes up,so you, O Lord, get rid of the thought of themwhen you wake up.
21 When my heart was filled with bitternessand my mind was seized ⌊with envy⌋,
22 I was stupid, and I did not understand.I was like a dumb animal in your presence.
23 Yet, I am always with you.You hold on to my right hand.
