19. How they are brought into desolation, as in a moment! They have come to an end; they are utterly consumed with terrors.
20. As the dream of one who awakes; so, O Lord, when thou shalt rise up, thou shalt despise their appearances.
21. Truly my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my kidneys.
22. But I was ignorant and did not understand; I was as a beast before thee.
23. Nevertheless I was continually with thee; thou hast apprehended me by my right hand.
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.
26. My flesh and my heart fail; the strength of my heart is that God is my portion for ever.
