Psalm 73:21–22

When my soul was embittered,

when I was pricked in heart,

I was brutish and ignorant;

I was like a beast toward you.

When my heart was grieved

and my spirit embittered,

I was senseless and ignorant;

I was a brute beast before you.

When I became embittered

and my innermost being was wounded,

I was stupid and didn’t understand;

I was an unthinking animal toward you.

Then I realized that my heart was bitter,

and I was all torn up inside.

I was so foolish and ignorant—

I must have seemed like a senseless animal to you.

When my heart was embittered

and I felt stabbed in my kidneys,

then I was brutish and ignorant.

With you I was like the beasts.

Thus my heart was grieved,

And I was pricked in my reins.

So foolish was I, and ignorant:

I was as a beast before thee.
