22 I was senseless and ignorant;

I was a brute beast before you.

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.

22 I was brutish and ignorant;

I was like a beast toward you.

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 to glory.

25 Whom have I in heaven but you?

And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.

22 I was so foolish and ignorant—

I must have seemed like a senseless animal to you.

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.

22 I was so foolish and ignorant;

I was like a beast before You.

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.

22 I was senseless and stupid.

I acted like an animal toward you.

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.

22 So brutish was I, and ignorant;

I was as a beast before thee.

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.

22 Then I was brutish and knew nothing; I was as a beast with thee. 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.

22 I was stupid, and I did not understand. 

I was like a dumb animal in your presence. 

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. 

22 I was stupid and didn’t understand;

I was an unthinking animal toward You.

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.

22 I was stupid and ignorant;

I was like a brute beast toward you.

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.

22 then I was brutish and ignorant.

With you I was like the beasts.

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.

22 I didn’t have any sense. I didn’t know anything.

I acted like a wild animal toward you.

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.

22 Then I was senseless and ignorant;

I was like a beast before You.

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.
