Psalm 73:26-28

New International Reader's Version

²⁶My body and my heart may grow weak.
God, you give strength to my heart.
You are everything I will ever need.

²⁷Those who don’t want anything to do with you will die.
    You destroy all those who aren’t faithful to you.
²⁸But 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.
