MKJV(i)
18 Surely You set them in slippery places; You cast them down into ruin.
19 How have they been brought into grief, as in a moment! They are fully eaten up with terrors,
20 like a dream when one awakens; so, O Jehovah, when You awake, You shall despise their image.
21 For my heart was grieved and I was pricked in my reins.
22 So foolish was I, and I did not know; I was like a beast before You.
23 But I am always with You; You have held me by my right hand.
24 You shall lead me with Your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
25 Whom have I in Heaven? And besides You I desire none on earth.
26 My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the strength of my heart, and my part forever.
27 For lo, those who are far from You shall perish; You have destroyed all who go lusting away from You.
28 And I, it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in Jehovah God, to declare all Your works.
