Psalm 73:18-28
English Standard Version
18 Truly you set them in (A)slippery places;
you make them fall to ruin.
19 How they are destroyed (B)in a moment,
swept away utterly by (C)terrors!
20 Like (D)a dream when one awakes,
O Lord, when (E)you rouse yourself, you despise them as phantoms.
21 When my soul was embittered,
when I was pricked in heart,
22 I was (F)brutish and ignorant;
I was like (G)a beast toward you.
23 Nevertheless, I am continually with you;
you (H)hold my right hand.
24 You (I)guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will (J)receive me to glory.
25 (K)Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.
26 (L)My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is (M)the strength[a] of my heart and my (N)portion (O)forever.
27 For behold, those who are (P)far from you shall perish;
you put an end to everyone who is (Q)unfaithful to you.
28 But for me it is good to (R)be near God;
I have made the Lord God my (S)refuge,
that I may (T)tell of all your works.
