18 You set them, indeed, on a slippery road;you hurl them down to ruin.
19 How suddenly they are devastated;utterly undone by disaster!
20 They are like a dream after waking, Lord,dismissed like shadows when you arise.
21 Since my heart was embitteredand my soul deeply wounded,
22 I was stupid and could not understand;I was like a brute beast in your presence.
23 Yet I am always with you;you take hold of my right hand.
24 With your counsel you guide me,and at the end receive me with honor.
