Psalms 73:26

24 ^aYou will guide me with Your counsel,
And afterward receive me to glory.

25 ^aWhom have I in heaven but You?
And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You.

26 ^aMy flesh and my heart fail;
But God is the¹ strength of my heart and my ^bportion forever.

27 For indeed, ^athose who are far from You shall perish;
You have destroyed all those who¹ desert You for harlotry.

28 But it is good for me to ^adraw near to God;
I have put my trust in the Lord GOD,
That I may ^bdeclare all Your works.

Psalms 73:26

My flesh - faileth - I shall soon die: and my heart - even my natural courage, will fail; and no support but what is supernatural will then be available. Therefore, he adds:

God is the strength of my heart - Literally, the rock of my heart.

And my portion - Allusion is here made to the division of the promised land. I ask no inheritance below; I look for one above. I do not look for this in the possession of any place; it is God alone that can content the desires and wishes of an immortal spirit. And even this would not satisfy, had I not the prospect of its being for ever, leolum , "to eternity!'
