What Does Psalms 73:19 Mean?
The speed is stunning. 'As in a moment'—in a flash, the carefully built edifice crumbles. The wicked, who seemed so secure, face absolute desolation. Their confidence vanishes, replaced by terror that penetrates their very being.
'Utterly consumed with terrors'—they are not defeated militarily or economically, but shattered internally by the realization of judgment. The fear that God instills in that moment is final.
