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

I don’t want anything on earth besides you.

26My body and my heart may grow weak.

God, you give strength to my heart.

You are everything I will ever need.

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

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

28But 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.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Whom have I in heaven but you?

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

My flesh and my heart may fail,

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

For behold, those who are far from you shall perish;

you put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to you.

But 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.

Whom have I in heaven but you?

And earth has nothing I desire besides you.

My flesh and my heart may fail,

but God is the strength of my heart

and my portion forever.

Those who are far from you will perish;

you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.

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.

Who do I have in heaven but you?

And I desire nothing on earth but you.

My flesh and my heart may fail,

but God is the strength of my heart,

my portion forever.

Those far from you will certainly perish;

you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.

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.

NLTNew Living Translation

Whom have I in heaven but you?

I desire you more than anything on earth.

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

but God remains the strength of my heart;

he is mine forever.

Those who desert him will perish,

for you destroy those who abandon you.

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.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Whom do I have in the heavens except you?

And with you I have no other desire on earth.

My flesh and heart failed,

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

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

You destroy each who abandons you for harlotry.

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.

KJV 1900King James Version

Whom have I in heaven but thee?

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

My flesh and my heart faileth:

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

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

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

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.
