17 until I entered the Sanctuary of God, and perceived their end.
18 Surely You put them in slippery places. You hurled them down to destruction.
19 How suddenly they became a ruin— terminated, consumed by terrors.
20 Like a dream when one awakes, thus when You arise, my Lord, You will despise their form.
21 When my heart was embittered and I was pierced in my heart,
22 I was brutish and ignorant. I was like a beast before You.
23 Yet I am continually with You. You hold my right hand.
