Psalms 73:22

"So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee." (A man of God talks thus about himself. He feels he acted and thought as a beast might do, for a beast only calculates things according to the present; it crops the grass, is satisfied, and lies down. But an immortal man ought to take a wider sweep and range in his thoughts and not merely think of today and of this present life but of the end of time and of the eternity that lies beyond this present mortal state. And because he had failed to do so, he calls himself foolish and ignorant. In the end he finds all his comfort in his God. He comes to the conclusion that whatever the portion of the ungodly may be, his is infinitely better because they do not have God and he has God, who is all in all).
