Psalm 73:20-28

New American Standard Bible

²⁰ Like a ^(A)dream when one awakes,
Lord, when ^(B)stirred, You will ^(C)despise their image.

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.
