22. But I was ignorant and did not understand; I was as a beast before thee.
23. Nevertheless I was continually with thee; thou hast apprehended me by my right hand.
24. Thou hast guided me with thy counsel, and afterward thou shalt receive me unto glory.
25. Whom have I in heaven but thee? And apart from thee there is nothing upon the earth that I desire.
26. My flesh and my heart fail; the strength of my heart is that God is my portion for ever.
27. For, behold, those that stray from thee shall perish; thou dost cut off all those that go a whoring from thee.
28. But as for me, to draw near to God is good; I have put my hope in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
