But It Is Good For Me To Be Near God

Reproach has broken my heart, and it cannot be healed; *
I looked for sympathy, but there was none,
for comforters, but I could find no one.

They gave me gall to eat, *
and when I was thirsty, they gave me vinegar to drink.

from Psalm 69

But it is good for me to be near God; *
I have made the Lord God my refuge.

from Psalm 73
