Commentary on Psalms 73:20
The wicked's life is compared to a dream upon waking: 'As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.' Dreams seem real during sleep but vanish upon waking, leaving nothing substantial. Similarly, the wicked's prosperity seems significant now but will prove insubstantial when God 'awakens' to judge. 'Despise their image' means reject their pretensions and self-importance. Eternal perspective reveals temporal success as vapor (James 4:14).
