Psalm 73:15 Context

◄ Psalm 73:15 ►

If I had said, "I will speak this way," then I would have betrayed Your children.

Context

15If I had said, “I will speak thus,”
Behold, I would have betrayed the generation of Your children.

16When I pondered to understand this,
It was troublesome in my sight

17Until I came into the sanctuary of God;
Then I perceived their end.

18Surely You set them in slippery places;
You cast them down to destruction.

19How they are destroyed in a moment!
They are utterly swept away by sudden terrors!

20Like a dream when one awakes,
O Lord, when aroused, You will despise their form.

21When my heart was embittered
And I was pierced within,

22Then I was senseless and ignorant;
I was like a beast before You.

23Nevertheless I am continually with You;
You have taken hold of my right hand.

24With Your counsel You will guide me,
And afterward receive me to glory.

25Whom have I in heaven but You?
And besides You, I desire nothing on earth.

26My flesh and my heart may fail,
But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

27For, behold, those who are far from You will perish;
You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to You.

28But as for me, the nearness of God is my good;
I have made the Lord GOD my refuge,
That I may tell of all Your works.
