73:21 Yes, 1 my spirit was bitter, 2
and my insides felt sharp pain. 3
73:22 I was ignorant 4 and lacked insight; 5
I was as senseless as an animal before you. 6
73:23 But I am continually with you;
you hold my right hand.
73:24 You guide 7 me by your wise advice,
and then you will lead me to a position of honor. 8
73:25 Whom do I have in heaven but you?
I desire no one but you on earth. 9
73:26 My flesh and my heart may grow weak, 10
but God always 11 protects my heart and gives me stability. 12
73:27 Yes, 13 look! Those far from you 14 die;
you destroy everyone who is unfaithful to you. 15
73:28 But as for me, God’s presence is all I need. 16
I have made the sovereign Lord my shelter,
as 17 I declare all the things you have done.
