23 Nevertheless, I am continually with you;
    you hold my right hand.
24 You guide me with your counsel,

26 My flesh and my heart may fail,
    but God is the strength[b] of my heart and my portion forever.(C)

    I have made the Lord God my refuge,
    to tell of all your works.(E)

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;

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.
