World English Bible
"When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me;"
— Psalms 73:16, World English Bible
“When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;”
“When I thought how I might know this, It was too painful for me; ”
“When I tried to make sense of this, it was troubling to me.”
“Thine is the day, and thine is the night: thou hast made the morning light and the sun.”
“When my thoughts were turned to see the reason of this, it was a weariness in my eyes;”
“When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;”
Surely in vain I have cleansed my heart, and washed my hands in innocence,
For all day long have I been plagued, and punished every morning.
If I had said, "I will speak thus;" behold, I would have betrayed the generation of your children.
When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me;
Until I entered God's sanctuary, and considered their latter end.
Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction.
How they are suddenly destroyed! They are completely swept away with terrors.
