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. ‡
