21 When my heart was grieved
and my spirit embittered,
22 I was senseless(H) and ignorant;
I was a brute beast(I) before you.

you hold me by my right hand.(J)

and afterward you will take me into glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you?(M)
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.(N)

28 But as for me, it is good to be near God.(U)
I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge;(V)
I will tell of all your deeds.(W)
