Psalm 73:22 in context

The verses around it, from Psalm 73.

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,

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

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.

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