It is good to be near God

You guide me with your counsel,

and afterward you will take me into glory.

Whom have I in heaven but you?

And earth has nothing I desire besides you.

My flesh and my heart may fail,

but God is the strength of my heart

and my portion forever.

Those who are far from you will perish; 
you destroy all who are unfaithful to you. 
But as for me, it is good to be near God. 
I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge; 
I will tell of all your deeds.

Psalmi 73: 24-28

The Lord is gracious and compassionate, 
slow to anger and rich in love.

The Lord is good to all; 
he has compassion on all he has made. 
All your works praise you, Lord; 
your faithful people extol you.                                               
Psalmi 145: 8-10
