13. Is it for nothing, then, that I have kept myself pureand have not committed sin?
14. O God, you have made me suffer all day long;every morning you have punished me.
15. If I had said such things,I would not be acting as one of your people.
16. I tried to think this problem through,but it was too difficult for me
17. until I went into your Temple.Then I understood what will happen to the wicked.
18. You will put them in slippery placesand make them fall to destruction!
19. They are instantly destroyed;they go down to a horrible end.
20. They are like a dream that goes away in the morning;when you rouse yourself, O Lord, they disappear.
