Commentary on Psalms 73:26

Theological / Devotional

Strength. Literally, “rock.”

Portion. Not friends, or honor, or wealth, or any earthly thing, but God was the source of the psalmist’s happiness. God was his all in all. Prompted by this verse, Charles Wesley (1707–88), on his deathbed, dictated to his wife one of his 6,500 hymns, in which appear the words: “Jesus, … strength of my failing flesh and heart.”
