Psalm73:21-26 (King James Version)
Thus my heart was grieved,
and I was pricked in my reins.
So foolish was I, and ignorant:
I was as a beast before thee.
Nevertheless I am continually with thee:
thou hast holden me by my right hand.
Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel,
and afterward receive me to glory.
Whom have I in heaven but thee?
And there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee.
My flesh and my heart faileth:
but God is the strength of my heart,
and my portion for ever.


(Today's English Version)
When my thoughts were bitter
and my feelings were hurt,
I was as stupid as an animal;
I did not understand you.
Yet I always stay close to you,
and you hold me by the hand.
You guide me with your instruction
and at the end you will receive me
with honour.
What else have I in heaven but you?
Since I have you, what else could I
want on earth?
My mind and my body may grow weak,
but God is my strength;
he is all I ever need.

Gave the two versions, whichever is your preferred cup of tea. frankly i wish we could marry the two. "pricked in my reins" is rather outdated and the last verse of the Today's English Version lost much steam. Well, i'm looking forward to some sleeping now. just came back from meeting june. passion fruit tea at olio dome did wonders for me and helped to ease the cramps. i might need to take a panadol before i sleep. for now, gonna see how long i can tahan be4 i K.O. God's blessings to all...
