Psalms:73:13-22
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain ,
and washed my hands in innocency .
*
For all the day long have I been plagued ,
and chastened every morning .
*
If I say ,
I will speak thus ;
behold ,
I should offend against the generation of thy children .
*
When I thought to know this ,
it was too painful for me ;
*
Until I went into the sanctuary of God ;
then understood I their end .
*
Surely thou didst set them in slippery places :
thou castedst them down into destruction .
*
How are they brought into desolation ,
as in a moment !
they are utterly consumed with terrors .
*
As a dream when one awaketh ;
so ,
O Lord ,
when thou awakest ,
thou shalt despise their image .
*
Thus my heart was grieved ,
and I was pricked in my reins .
*
So foolish was I ,
and ignorant :
I was as a beast before thee .
