23. I am become as a beast before thee: and I am always with thee.
24. Thou hast held me by my right hand; and by thy will thou hast conducted me, and with thy glory thou hast received me.
25. For what have I in heaven? and besides thee what do I desire upon earth?
26. For thee my flesh and my heart hath fainted away: thou art the God of my heart, and the God that is my portion for ever.
27. For behold they that go far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that are disloyal to thee.
28. But it is good for me to adhere to my God, to put my hope in the Lord God: That I may declare all thy praises, in the gates of the daughter of Sion.
