19. How suddenly they become a desolation!They come to an end, swept away by terrors.
20. Like one waking from a dream,Lord, when arising, You will despise their image.
21. When I became embitteredand my innermost being was wounded,
22. I was stupid and didn’t understand;I was an unthinking animal toward You.
23. Yet I am always with You;You hold my right hand.
24. You guide me with Your counsel,and afterward You will take me up in glory.
25. Who do I have in heaven but You?And I desire nothing on earth but You.
26. My flesh and my heart may fail,but God is the strength of my heart,my portion forever.
