Psalms 73:12-20

Psalms 73:12-20

[12] Behold, these are the ungodly,  who prosper  in the world;  they increase  in riches.  [13] Verily I have cleansed  my heart  in vain,  and washed  my hands  in innocency.  [14] For all the day  long have I been plagued,  and chastened  every morning.  [15] If I say,  I will speak  thus;  behold, I should offend  against the generation  of thy children.  [16] When I thought  to know  this, it was too painful  for me;  [17] Until I went  into the sanctuary  of God;  then understood  I their end.  [18] Surely thou didst set  them in slippery places:  thou castedst them down  into destruction.  [19] How are they brought into desolation,  as in a moment!  they are utterly  consumed  with terrors.  [20] As a dream  when one awaketh;  so, O Lord,  when thou awakest,  thou shalt despise  their image.
