18. Surely you set them in slippery places.You throw them down to destruction.
19. How they are suddenly destroyed!They are completely swept away with terrors.
20. As a dream when one wakes up,so, Lord, when you awake, you will despise their fantasies.
21. For my soul was grieved.I was embittered in my heart.
22. I was so senseless and ignorant.I was a brute beast before you.
23. Nevertheless, I am continually with you.You have held my right hand.
24. You will guide me with your counsel,and afterward receive me to glory.
25. Whom do I have in heaven?There is no one on earth whom I desire besides you.
26. My flesh and my heart fails,but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
