23 Nevertheless (A)I am continually with You;
You have taken hold of my right hand.
24 You will (B)guide me with Your plan,
And afterward (C)receive me [a]to glory.

25 (D)Whom do I have in heaven but You?
And with You, I desire nothing on earth.
26 My (E)flesh and my heart may fail,
But God is the [b]strength of my heart and my (F)portion forever.
27 For, behold, (G)those who are far from You will (H)perish;
You have destroyed all those who [c](I)are unfaithful to You.
28 But as for me, (J)the nearness of God is good for me;
I have made the Lord [d]God my (K)refuge,
So that I may (L)tell of all Your works.
