Psalms 73:19 - Psalms 74:0
19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
20 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.
21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
22 So foolish was I, and ignorant; I was as a beast before thee.
23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee; thou hast holden me by my right hand.
24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee.
26 My flesh and my heart faileth; but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever.
27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish; thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
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 thy works.
