22 So foolish was I, and ignorant; I was as a beast before thee.
23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee; thou hast holden me by my right hand.
24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee.
26 My flesh and my heart faileth; but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever.
27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish; thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
28 But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy works.
Psalms 74 Intro: The prophet complaineth of the desolation of the sanctuary -- Hemoveth God to help. (Maschil of Asaph.)
1 O God, why hast thou cast us off forever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
2 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
