21. For my soul was grieved, And I was pricked in my heart:
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.
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.
