Context of Psalms 73:26
24Thou wilt guide me by thy counsel, and after the glory, thou wilt receive me. 25Whom have I in the heavens? and there is none upon earth I desire beside thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: God is the rock of my heart and my portion for ever. 27For behold, they that are far from thee shall perish; thou destroyest every one that goeth a whoring from thee. 28But as for me, it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord Jehovah, that I may declare all thy works.

This seems to have been said in an “ideal” sense, or by anticipation. He does not mean to say that his strength then had actually failed, but he seems to have placed himself by imagination in the situation where his strength “would” be all gone - in sickness, in weakness…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 21-28Verses 21-28 God would not suffer his people to be tempted, if his grace were not sufficient, not only to save them from harm, but to make them gainers by it.
