As a dream when one wakes up,
so, Lord,† when you awake, you will despise their fantasies.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Psalms 73:20 in context
Psalms 73:17–23
17
until I entered God’s sanctuary,
and considered their latter end.
18
Surely you set them in slippery places.
You throw them down to destruction.
19
How they are suddenly destroyed!
They are completely swept away with terrors.
20
Selected verse
As a dream when one wakes up,
so, Lord,† when you awake, you will despise their fantasies.
21
For my soul was grieved.
I was embittered in my heart.
22
I was so senseless and ignorant.
I was a brute beast before you.
23
Nevertheless, I am continually with you.
You have held my right hand.
