A word in season from a dear friend

(bild lånad fr Google)

 Yet I am always with you; 

   you hold me by my right hand. 

You guide me with your counsel, 

   and afterward you will take me into glory. 

 Whom have I in heaven but you? 

   And earth has nothing I desire besides you. 

 My flesh and my heart may fail, 

   but God is the strength of my heart 

   and my portion forever.

 Those who are far from you will perish; 

   you destroy all who are unfaithful to you. 

But as for me, it is good to be near God. 

   I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge; 

   I will tell of all your deeds

a psalm of Asaph

Psalm 73
