Psalm 73:21-28

New American Standard Bible 1995

²¹ When my ^(A)heart was embittered
And I was ^(B)pierced ^[a]within,
²² Then I was ^(C)senseless and ignorant;
I was like ^[b]a ^(D)beast ^[c]before You.
²³ Nevertheless ^(E)I am continually with You;
You have taken hold of my right hand.
²⁴ With Your counsel You will ^(F)guide me,
And afterward ^(G)receive me ^[d]to glory.

^25 (H)Whom have I in heaven but You?
And ^[e]besides You, I desire nothing on earth.
²⁶ My ^(I)flesh and my heart may fail,
But God is the ^[f]strength of my heart and my ^(J)portion forever.
²⁷ For, behold, ^(K)those who are far from You will ^(L)perish;
You have ^[g]destroyed all those who ^[h](M)are unfaithful to You.
²⁸ But as for me, ^(N)the nearness of God is my good;
I have made the Lord ^[i]God my ^(O)refuge,
That I may ^(P)tell of all Your works.
