As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.

Verse 20 is found in chapter 73 of Psalms. Psalm 73 explicitly addresses the crisis caused by observing the prosperity of the wicked. The psalmist nearly abandons his trust because the arrogant seem to live without consequences. The turning point occurs upon entering God’s sanctuary, where he gains a different perspective on their destiny. The psalm concludes by affirming that nearness to God is the true good and that making the Lord one’s refuge enables one to proclaim his works.

Wie ein Traum, wenn einer erwacht, so machst du, HERR, ihr Bild in der Stadt verschmäht.
Como sueño del que despierta, Así, Señor, cuando despertares, menospreciarás sus apariencias.
Como un sueño al despertar, Señor, cuando te levantes despreciarás su imagen.
Comme un songe au réveil, Seigneur, à ton réveil, tu repousses leur image.
Son come un sogno, dopo che l’uomo si è destato; O Signore, quando tu ti risveglierai, tu sprezzerai la lor vana apparenza
Como um sonho, quando se acorda, assim, ó Senhor, quando acordares, desprezarás a aparência deles.
人睡醒了,怎樣看夢, 主啊,你醒了也必照樣輕看他們的影像。
