BSB(i)
18 Surely You set them on slick ground; You cast them down into ruin.
19 How suddenly they are laid waste, completely swept away by terrors!
20 Like one waking from a dream, so You, O Lord, awaken and despise their form.
21 When my heart was grieved and I was pierced within,
22 I was senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before You.
23 Yet I am always with You; You hold my right hand.
24 You guide me with Your counsel, and later receive me in glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but You? And on earth I desire no one besides You.
26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
27 Those far from You will surely perish; You destroy all who are unfaithful to You.
28 But as for me, it is good to draw near to God. I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may proclaim all Your works.
