17 Then I entered the precincts of God’s temple,and understood the destiny of the wicked.
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.
