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.
