The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 73:25

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Whom have I in heaven but thee? Who is there in all the host of heaven on whom I can place any reliance, excepting thee? None of thy "holy ones," neither angel nor archangel, can afford me any support or sustenance, preserve or guide or save me, but THOU only (comp.

Job 5:1). And there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. Much less can earth supply me with a substitute for God. On him my heart's affections are centred (comp. Psalms 63:1, "My soul thirsteth top thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is").
