“Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.”
The affirmation that the psalmist desires nothing on earth besides God articulates the ultimate reorientation: the value of relationship with God supersedes all earthly goods. The reference to nothing being desired besides God indicates single-minded focus. This verse articulates the resolution of the crisis: the recognition that communion with God is the ultimate good.
