New American Standard Bible
Psalm 73:20-28
New American Standard Bible
21 When my (D)heart was embittered
And I was (E)pierced [a]within,
22 Then I was (F)stupid and ignorant;
I was like an (G)animal [b]before You.
23 Nevertheless (H)I am continually with You;
You have taken hold of my right hand.
24 You will (I)guide me with Your plan,
And afterward (J)receive me [c]to glory.
25 (K)Whom do I have in heaven but You?
And with You, I desire nothing on earth.
26 My (L)flesh and my heart may fail,
But God is the [d]strength of my heart and my (M)portion forever.
27 For, behold, (N)those who are far from You will (O)perish;
You have destroyed all those who [e](P)are unfaithful to You.
28 But as for me, (Q)the nearness of God is good for me;
I have made the Lord [f]God my (R)refuge,
So that I may (S)tell of all Your works.

Psalm 73:20-28
New International Version
20 They are like a dream(A) when one awakes;(B)
when you arise, Lord,
you will despise them as fantasies.(C)
21 When my heart was grieved
and my spirit embittered,
22 I was senseless(D) and ignorant;
I was a brute beast(E) before you.
23 Yet I am always with you;
you hold me by my right hand.(F)
24 You guide(G) me with your counsel,(H)
and afterward you will take me into glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you?(I)
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.(J)
26 My flesh and my heart(K) may fail,(L)
but God is the strength(M) of my heart
and my portion(N) forever.
