ISV(i)
18 You have certainly set them in slippery places; you will make them fall to their ruin.
19 How desolate they quickly become, completely destroyed by calamities.
20 Like a dream when one awakens, Lord, you will despise their image when you arise.
21 When I chose to be bitter I was emotionally pained.
22 Then, I was too stupid and didn’t realize I was acting like a wild animal with you.
23 But now I am always with you, for you keep holding my right hand.
24 You will guide me with your wise advice, and later you will receive me with honor.
25 Whom do I have in heaven but you? I desire nothing on this earth.
26 My body and mind may fail, but God is my strength and my portion forever.
27 Those far from you will perish; you will destroy those who are unfaithful to you.
28 As for me, how good for me it is that God is near! I have made the Lord GOD my refuge so I can tell about all your deeds.
