Psalm 73:23-28
Good News Translation
23 Yet I always stay close to you,
and you hold me by the hand.
24 You guide me with your instruction
and at the end you will receive me with honor.
25 What else do I have in heaven but you?
Since I have you, what else could I want on earth?
26 My mind and my body may grow weak,
but God is my strength;
he is all I ever need.
27 Those who abandon you will certainly perish;
you will destroy those who are unfaithful to you.
28 But as for me, how wonderful to be near God,
to find protection with the Sovereign Lord
and to proclaim all that he has done!
Psalm 73:23-28
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
23 Nevertheless, I am continually with you;
you hold my right hand.
24 You guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will receive me with honor.[a](A)
25 Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire other than you.(B)
26 My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength[b] of my heart and my portion forever.(C)
27 Indeed, those who are far from you will perish;
you put an end to those who are false to you.(D)
28 But for me it is good to be near God;
I have made the Lord God my refuge,
to tell of all your works.(E)

Complete Jewish Bible
23 Nevertheless, I am always with you;
you hold my right hand.
24 You will guide me with your advice;
and afterwards, you will receive me with honor.
25 Whom do I have in heaven but you?
And with you, I lack nothing on earth.
26 My mind and body may fail; but God
is the rock for my mind and my portion forever.
27 Those who are far from you will perish;
you destroy all who adulterously leave you.
28 But for me, the nearness of God is my good;
I have made Adonai Elohim my refuge,
so that I can tell of all your works.
