17It troubled me until I entered God’s temple.
Then I understood what will happen to bad people in the end.
18God, I’m sure you will make them slip and fall.
You will throw them down and destroy them.
19It will happen very suddenly.
A terrible death will take them away completely.
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.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
until I went into the sanctuary of God;
then I discerned their end.
Truly you set them in slippery places;
you make them fall to ruin.
How they are destroyed in a moment,
swept away utterly by terrors!
Like a dream when one awakes,
O Lord, when you rouse yourself, you despise them as phantoms.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
till I entered the sanctuary of God;
then I understood their final destiny.
Surely you place them on slippery ground;
you cast them down to ruin.
How suddenly are they destroyed,
completely swept away by terrors!
They are like a dream when one awakes;
when you arise, Lord,
you will despise them as fantasies.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
until I entered God’s sanctuary.
Then I understood their destiny.
Indeed, you put them in slippery places;
you make them fall into ruin.
How suddenly they become a desolation!
They come to an end, swept away by terrors.
Like one waking from a dream,
Lord, when arising, you will despise their image.

NLTNew Living Translation
Then I went into your sanctuary, O God,
and I finally understood the destiny of the wicked.
Truly, you put them on a slippery path
and send them sliding over the cliff to destruction.
In an instant they are destroyed,
completely swept away by terrors.
When you arise, O Lord,
you will laugh at their silly ideas
as a person laughs at dreams in the morning.

until I went into the sanctuary of God.
Then I understood their fate.
Surely you set them on slippery places.
You cause them to fall onto ruin.
How they become a desolation in a moment!
They come to a complete end by terrors.
Like a dream upon awakening,
when you wake up, O Lord,
you will despise their fleeting form.

KJV 1900King James Version
Until I went into the sanctuary of God;
Then understood I their end.
Surely thou didst set them in slippery places:
Thou castedst them down into destruction.
How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment!
They are utterly consumed with terrors.
As a dream when one awaketh;
So, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.
