Psalm 73:21-28

Christian Standard Bible

²¹ When I became embittered
and my innermost being^[a] was wounded,^(A)
22 I was stupid and didn’t understand;
I was an unthinking animal toward you.^(B)
23 Yet I am always with you;
you hold my right hand.^(C)
24 You guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will take me up in glory.^[b](D)
25 Who do I have in heaven but you?
And I desire nothing on earth but you.^(E)
26 My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength^[c] of my heart,
my portion forever.^(F)
27 Those far from you will certainly perish;
you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.^(G)
28 But as for me, God’s presence is my good.
I have made the Lord God my refuge,
so I can tell about all you do.^(H)
