“As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.”
The metaphor that the wicked are like a dream upon waking articulates that their prosperity is insubstantial and will be revealed as illusory. The reference to despising their phantom upon waking indicates that what seemed significant will be revealed as empty. This verse articulates that the wicked's prosperity will be recognized as transient and meaningless.
