Psalm 73:16-17
New King James Version
16 When I thought how to understand this,
It was [a]too painful for me—
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God;
Then I understood their (A)end.

Psalm 73:23-28
New King James Version
23 Nevertheless I am continually with You;
You hold me by my right hand.
24 (A)You will guide me with Your counsel,
And afterward receive me to glory.
25 (B)Whom have I in heaven but You?
And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You.
26 (C)My flesh and my heart fail;
But God is the [a]strength of my heart and my (D)portion forever.
27 For indeed, (E)those who are far from You shall perish;
You have destroyed all those who [b]desert You for harlotry.
28 But it is good for me to (F)draw near to God;
I have put my trust in the Lord God,
That I may (G)declare all Your works.
