Bible verse
When my heart was grieved and I was pierced within,
Psalm 73:21 · BSB
The verses around it, from Psalm 73.
17 until I entered God’s sanctuary; then I discerned their end.
18 Surely You set them on slick ground; You cast them down into ruin.
19 How suddenly they are laid waste, completely swept away by terrors!
20 Like one waking from a dream, so You, O Lord, awaken and despise their form.
21 When my heart was grieved and I was pierced within,

23 Yet I am always with You; You hold my right hand.
24 You guide me with Your counsel, and later receive me in glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but You? And on earth I desire no one besides You.
