21. For my soul was grieved.I was embittered in my heart.
22. I was so senseless and ignorant.I was a brute beast before you.
23. Nevertheless, I am continually with you.You have held my right hand.
24. You will guide me with your counsel,and afterward receive me to glory.
25. Whom do I have in heaven?There is no one on earth whom I desire besides you.
26. My flesh and my heart fails,but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
27. For, behold, those who are far from you shall perish.You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to you.
