Context of Psalms 73:24
22I was ignorant and lacked insight; I was as senseless as an animal before you. 23But I am continually with you; you hold my right hand. You guide me by your wise advice, and then you will lead me to a position of honor. 25Whom do I have in heaven but you? I desire no one but you on earth. 26My flesh and my heart may grow weak, but God always protects my heart and gives me stability.
