Psalms 73:20
Like one waking from a dream, so You, O Lord, awaken and despise their form.
BSB
ASV
As a dream when one awaketh, So, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou wilt despise their image.
KJV
As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.

For the Lord has painted us in his image and likeness, even as he teaches us, saying, "Behold, O Jerusalem, I have painted your walls."
As a dream when one awaketh, so, O Lord! when thou awakest, or when they awake (as some read it), thou shalt despise their image, their shadow, and make it to vanish. In the day of the great judgment (so the Chaldee paraphrase reads it), when they are awaked out of their graves, thou shalt, in wrath, despise their image; for they shall rise to shame and everlasting contempt.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.

To the man who is pleasing in His sight, He gives wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner He assigns the task of gathering and accumulating that which he will hand over…
You do not even know what will happen tomorrow! What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
When all has been heard, the conclusion of the matter is this: Fear God and keep His commandments, because this is the whole duty of man.
