Psalm 73:23-28

New International Reader's Version

²³ But I am always with you.
    You hold me by my right hand.
²⁴ You give me wise advice to guide me.
    And when I die, you will take me away
    into the glory of heaven.
²⁵ I don’t have anyone in heaven but you.
    I don’t want anything on earth besides you.
²⁶ My body and my heart may grow weak.
    God, you give strength to my heart.
    You are everything I will ever need.

²⁷ Those who don’t want anything to do with you will die.
    You destroy all those who aren’t faithful to you.
²⁸ But I am close to you. And that’s good.
    Lord and King, I have made you my place of safety.
    I will talk about everything you have done.
