    reap the fruit of unfailing love,
and break up your unplowed ground;(C)

23 Yet I am always with you;
    you hold me by my right hand.(A)
24 You guide(B) me with your counsel,(C)
    and afterward you will take me into glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you?(D)
    And earth has nothing I desire besides you.(E)
26 My flesh and my heart(F) may fail,(G)
    but God is the strength(H) of my heart
    and my portion(I) forever.

27 Those who are far from you will perish;(J)

    I will tell of all your deeds.(N)
