Context of Psalms 73:23
21For my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins: 22So brutish was I, and ignorant; I was as a beast before thee. Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden my right hand. 24Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. 25Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
