23 Yet I am always with you;

you hold me by my right hand.

24 You guide me with your counsel,

and afterward you will take me into glory.

25 Whom have I in heaven but you?

And earth has nothing I desire besides you.

26 My flesh and my heart may fail,

but God is the strength of my heart

and my portion forever.

27 Those who are far from you will perish;

you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.

28 But as for me, it is good to be near God.

I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge;

I will tell of all your deeds.

23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee:

Thou hast holden me by my right hand.

24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel,

And afterward receive me to glory.

25 Whom have I in heaven but thee?

And there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.

26 My flesh and my heart faileth:

But God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish:

Thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.

28 But 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.

23 Yet I still belong to you;

you hold my right hand.

24 You guide me with your counsel,

leading me to a glorious destiny.

25 Whom have I in heaven but you?

I desire you more than anything on earth.

26 My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak,

but God remains the strength of my heart;

he is mine forever.

27 Those who desert him will perish,

for you destroy those who abandon you.

28 But as for me, how good it is to be near God!

I have made the Sovereign Lord my shelter,

and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things you do.

23 Nevertheless I am continually with You;

You hold 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 none upon earth that I desire besides You.

26 My flesh and my heart fail;

But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

27 For indeed, those who are far from You shall perish;

You have destroyed all those who desert You for harlotry.

28 But it is good for me to draw near to God;

I have put my trust in the Lord God,

That I may declare all Your works.

23 But I am always with you;

you have held my hand.

24 You guide me with your advice,

and later you will receive me in honor.

25 I have no one in heaven but you;

I want nothing on earth besides you.

26 My body and my mind may become weak,

but God is my strength.

He is mine forever.

27 Those who are far from God will die;

you destroy those who are unfaithful.

28 But I am close to God, and that is good.

The Lord God is my protection.

I will tell all that you have done.

23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee:

Thou hast holden my right hand.

24 Thou wilt guide me with thy counsel,

And afterward receive me to glory.

25 Whom have I in heaven but thee?

And there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee.

26 My flesh and my heart faileth;

But God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever.

27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish:

Thou hast destroyed all them that play the harlot, departing from thee.

28 But it is good for me to draw near unto God:

I have made the Lord Jehovah my refuge,

That I may tell of all thy works.

23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden my right hand; 24 Thou wilt guide me by thy counsel, and after the glory, thou wilt receive me. 25 Whom have I in the heavens? and there is none upon earth I desire beside thee. 26 My flesh and my heart faileth: God is the rock of my heart and my portion for ever. 27 For behold, they that are far from thee shall perish; thou destroyest every one that goeth a whoring from thee. 28 But as for me, it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord Jehovah, that I may declare all thy works.

23 Yet, I am always with you. 

You hold on to my right hand. 

24 With your advice you guide me, 

and in the end you will take me to glory. 

25 As long as I have you, 

I don’t need anyone else in heaven or on earth. 

26 My body and mind may waste away, 

but God remains the foundation of my life 

and my inheritance forever. 

27 Without a doubt, those who are far from you will die. 

You destroy all who are unfaithful to you. 

28 Being united with God is my highest good. 

I have made the Almighty Lord my refuge 

so that I may report everything that he has done. 

23 Yet I am always with You;

You hold my right hand.

24 You guide me with Your counsel,

and afterward You will take me up in glory.

25 Who do I have in heaven but You?

And I desire nothing on earth but You.

26 My flesh and my heart may fail,

but God is the strength of my heart,

my portion forever.

27 Those far from You will certainly perish;

You destroy all who are unfaithful to You.

28 But 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.

23 Nevertheless I am continually with you;

you hold my right hand.

24 You guide me with your counsel,

and afterward you will receive me with honor.

25 Whom have I in heaven but you?

And there is nothing on earth that I desire other than you.

26 My flesh and my heart may fail,

but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

27 Indeed, those who are far from you will perish;

you put an end to those who are false to you.

28 But for me it is good to be near God;

I have made the Lord God my refuge,

to tell of all your works.

23 But I am continually with you;

you have hold of my right hand.

24 You will guide me with your advice,

and afterward you will take me into honor.

25 Whom do I have in the heavens except you?

And with you I have no other desire on earth.

26 My flesh and heart failed,

but God is the strength of my heart and my reward forever.

27 For indeed, those distancing themselves from you will be ruined.

You destroy each who abandons you for harlotry.

28 But as for me, the approach to God is for my good.

I have set the Lord Yahweh as my refuge,

in order to tell all your works.

23 But I am always with you.

You hold me by my right hand.

24 You give me wise advice to guide me.

And when I die, you will take me away

into the glory of heaven.

25 I don’t have anyone in heaven but you.

I don’t want anything on earth besides you.

26 My body and my heart may grow weak.

God, you give strength to my heart.

You are everything I will ever need.

27 Those who don’t want anything to do with you will die.

You destroy all those who aren’t faithful to you.

28 But I am close to you. And that’s good.

Lord and King, I have made you my place of safety.

I will talk about everything you have done.

23 Nevertheless I am continually with You;

You have taken hold of my right hand.

24 With Your counsel You will guide me,

And afterward receive me to glory.

25 Whom have I in heaven but You?

And besides You, I desire nothing on earth.

26 My flesh and my heart may fail,

But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

27 For, behold, those who are far from You will perish;

You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to You.

28 But as for me, the nearness of God is my good;

I have made the Lord God my refuge,

That I may tell of all Your works.
