Psalm 73
Why is it that the good have many troubles?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blessed is the man who does not lose faith in me<\/em> (Matthew 11:6).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

III<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so when my heart grew embittered *
and when I was cut to the quick,
I was stupid and did not understand, *
no better than a beast in your sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet I was always in your presence; *
you were holding me by my right hand.
You will guide me by your counsel *
and so you will lead me to glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What else have I in heaven but you? *
Apart from you I want nothing on earth.
My body and my heart faint for joy; *
God is my possession for ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All those who abandon you shall perish; *
you will destroy all those who are faithless.
To be near God is my happiness. *
I have made the Lord God my refuge.
I will tell of all your works *
at the gates of the city of Zion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, *
and will be for ever. Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18349,"template":"","rizors":[],"yoast_head":"\nYet I was always in your presence - Behold<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/behold.mt\/en\/talba-bis-salmi\/yet-i-was-always-in-your-presence-5\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Yet I was always in your presence - Behold\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Office of the Reading, Monday 27th April 2026 Psalm 73Why is it that the good have many troubles?
