Psalms 73:21-28
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 73
21When my heart was embittered And I was pierced within, 22Then I was stupid and ignorant; I was like an animal before You. 23Nevertheless I am continually with You; You have taken hold of my right hand. 24You will guide me with Your plan, And afterward receive me to glory. 25Whom do I have in heaven but You? And with You, I desire nothing on earth. 26My flesh and my heart may fail, But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. 27For, behold, those who are far from You will perish; You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to You. 28But as for me, the nearness of God is good for me; I have made the Lord God my refuge, So that I may tell of all Your works.King James Version
Chapter 73
21Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. 22So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee. 23Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. 24Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. 25Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. 26My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. 27For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. 28But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 73
21When I became embittered and my innermost being was wounded, 22I was stupid and didn't understand; I was an unthinking animal toward you. 23Yet I am always with you; you hold my right hand. 24You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me up in glory. 25Who do I have in heaven but you? And I desire nothing on earth but you. 26My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart, my portion forever. 27Those far from you will certainly perish; you destroy all who are unfaithful to you. 28But as for me, God's presence is my good. I have made the Lord God my refuge, so I can tell about all you do.New Living Translation
Chapter 73
21Then I realized that my heart was bitter, and I was all torn up inside. 22I was so foolish and ignorant — I must have seemed like a senseless animal to you. 23Yet I still belong to you; you hold my right hand. 24You guide me with your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny. 25Whom have I in heaven but you? I desire you more than anything on earth. 26My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever.English Standard Version
Chapter 73
21When my soul was embittered, when I was pricked in heart, 22I was brutish and ignorant; I was like a beast toward you. 23Nevertheless, I am continually with you; you hold my right hand. 24You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me to glory. 25Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. 26My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. 27For behold, those who are far from you shall perish; you put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to you. 28But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.New International Version
