Psalm 73:26

God's Ways Vindicated

²⁵
Whom have I in heaven [but You]?
And besides You, I desire nothing on earth.
²⁶ 
My flesh and my heart may fail,
But God is the rock and strength of my heart and my portion forever.

For behold, those who are far from You will perish;
You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful and have abandoned You.
