18Surely You set them on slick ground;
You cast them down into ruin.
19How suddenly they are laid waste,
completely swept away by terrors!
20Like one waking from a dream,
so You, O Lord, awaken and despise their form.
21When my heart was grieved
and I was pierced within,
22I was senseless and ignorant;
I was a brute beast before You.
23Yet I am always with You;
You hold my right hand.
24You guide me with Your counsel,
and later receive me in glory.
25Whom have I in heaven but You?
And on earth I desire no one besides You.
26My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.
27Those far from You will surely perish;
You destroy all who are unfaithful to You.
28But as for me, it is good to draw near to God.
I have made the Lord GOD my refuge,
that I may proclaim all Your works.
— Psalm 73:18-28
