18. Surely You set them in slippery places; You cast them down to destruction.
19. How they are destroyed in a moment! They are utterly swept away by sudden terrors!
20. Like a dream when one awakes, O Lord, when aroused, You will despise their form.
21. When my heart was embittered And I was pierced within,
22. Then I was senseless and ignorant; I was like a beast before You.
23. Nevertheless I am continually with You; You have taken hold of my right hand.
24. With Your counsel You will guide me, And afterward receive me to glory.
25. Whom have I in heaven but You? And besides You, I desire nothing on earth.
26. My flesh and my heart may fail, But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
