20 Thus my heart was grieved: and it went even through my reins.

21 So foolish was I, and ignorant: even as it were a beast before

thee.

22 Nevertheless, I am alway by thee: for thou hast holden me by

my right hand.

23 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel: and after that receive

me with glory.

24 Whom have I in heaven but thee: and there is none upon earth

that I desire in comparison of thee.

25 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my

heart, and my portion for ever.

26 For lo, they that forsake thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed

all them that commit fornication against thee.

27 But it is good for me to hold me fast by God, to put my trust

in the Lord God: and to speak of all thy works in the gates of the

daughter of Sion.
