19. How they are brought into desolation, as in a moment! They have come to an end; they are utterly consumed with terrors.

24. Thou hast guided me with thy counsel, and afterward thou shalt receive me unto glory.
25. Whom have I in heaven but thee? And apart from thee there is nothing upon the earth that I desire.
