Psalm 73:21-28

English Standard Version

²¹When my soul was embittered,
when I was pricked in heart,
²²I was ^(A)brutish and ignorant;
I was like ^(B)a beast toward you.

²³Nevertheless, I am continually with you;
    you ^(C)hold my right hand.
²⁴You ^(D)guide me with your counsel,
    and afterward you will ^(E)receive me to glory.
²⁵^(F)Whom have I in heaven but you?
    And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.
²⁶^(G)My flesh and my heart may fail,
    but God is ^(H)the strength^[a] of my heart and my ^(I)portion ^(J)forever.

²⁷For behold, those who are ^(K)far from you shall perish;
    you put an end to everyone who is ^(L)unfaithful to you.
²⁸But for me it is good to ^(M)be near God;
    I have made the Lord God my ^(N)refuge,
    that I may ^(O)tell of all your works.
