Truly God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled, my steps had nearly slipped. loftily they threaten oppression.
I
would have betrayed the generation of your children. But when I thought how to
understand this,
it seemed to me a wearisome task, until
I went into the sanctuary of God; then I discerned their end.
Like a dream when one awakes, O Lord, when you rouse yourself, you despise them
as phantoms.
When my soul was embittered, when I was pricked in heart, I was brutish and
ignorant; I was like a beast toward you.
Nevertheless, I am continually with you; you hold my right hand. You guide me
with your counsel,
and afterward you will receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? And
there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may
fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. For behold,
those who are far from you shall perish; you put an end to everyone who is
unfaithful to you. But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord
GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.
