21 When my heart became embittered ♦︎
and I was pierced to the quick,
22 I was but foolish and ignorant; ♦︎
I was like a brute beast in your presence.
23 Yet I am always with you; ♦︎
you hold me by my right hand.
24 You will guide me with your counsel ♦︎
and afterwards receive me with glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you? ♦︎
And there is nothing upon earth that I desire
in comparison with you.
26 Though my flesh and my heart fail me, ♦︎
God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever.
27 Truly, those who forsake you will perish; ♦︎
you will put to silence the faithless who betray you.
28 But it is good for me to draw near to God; ♦︎
in the Lord God have I made my refuge,
that I may tell of all your works.
