16. It was hard for meto understand all this!
17. Then I went to your temple,and there I understoodwhat will happento my enemies.
18. You will make them stumble,never to get up again.
19. They will be terrified,suddenly swept awayand no longer there.
20. They will disappear, Lord,despised like a bad dreamthe morning after.
21. Once I was bitterand brokenhearted.
22. I was stupid and ignorant,and I treated youas a wild animal would.
23. But I never really left you,and you hold my right hand.
24. Your advice has been my guide,and later you will welcome mein glory.
25. In heaven I have only you,and on this earthyou are all I want.
26. My body and mind may fail,but you are my strengthand my choice for ever.
27. Powerful Lord God,all who stay far from youwill be lost,and you will destroy thosewho are unfaithful.
28. It is good for meto be near you.I choose you as my protector,and I will tell aboutyour wonderful deeds.
