Psalm 73:20

Psalm 73:20 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

20They are like a dream when one awakes;

when you arise, Lord,

you will despise them as fantasies.

20Like a dream when one awakes,

Lord, when stirred, You will despise their image.

20Like a dream when one awakes,

O Lord, when aroused, You will despise their form.

20Like a dream [which seems real] until one awakens,

O Lord, when stirred, [You observe the wicked], You will despise their image.

20Like one waking from a dream,

so You, O Lord, awaken and despise their form.

20A dream goes away when a person wakes up.

Lord, it will be like that when you rise up.

It will be as if those people were only a dream.
