Psalms 73 — Context

How suddenly are they wasted! fears are the cause of their destruction.

As a dream when one is awake, they are ended; they are like an image gone out of mind when sleep is over.

My heart was made bitter, and I was pained by the bite of grief:

As for me, I was foolish, and without knowledge; I was like a beast before you.

But still I am ever with you; you have taken me by my right hand.

Your wisdom will be my guide, and later you will put me in a place of honour.

Whom have I in heaven but you? and having you I have no desire for anything on earth.
