22. I was a brute and did not understand;I was as a beast before You.
23. Nevertheless I am continually with You;You have held me by my right hand.
24. You will guide me with Your counsel,and afterward receive me to glory.
25. Whom have I in heaven but You?And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides You.
26. My flesh and my heart fails,but God is the strength of my heartand my portion forever.
27. For those who are far from You will perish;You destroy everyone who is unfaithful to You.
28. But it is good for me to draw near to God;I have taken my refuge in the Lord God,that I may declare all Your works.
