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

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