25 Whom have I in the heavens above [To trust] but thee my God alone? And whom on earth do I desire [And seek?] besides thee there is none.
25 Whom have I in the heav'ns above [To trust] but thee my God alone? And whom on earth do I desire [And seek?] besides thee there is none.
26 My flesh and heart do faint and fail; But God upholds my [sinking] heart; God is my Rock of strength, and he For ever is my [chosen] part.
27 For they shall surely perish all That are gone far [away] from thee: ⟨p. 120⟩They that from thee a whoring go, Shall all [at last] destroyed be.
28 I know that it is best for me My God still to draw [and dwell] near; I trust in thee, Lord God, that I May all thy [wondrous] works declare.
