Psalms 73:25
23 Yet I am always with You; You hold my right hand.
24 You guide me with Your counsel, and later receive me in glory.
Whom have I in heaven but You? And on earth I desire no one besides You.
26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
27 Those far from You will surely perish; You destroy all who are unfaithful to You.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
