Contextual Overview

21 Ueryly thus was my heart inflamed: thus was my reynes pricked. 22 So foolishe was I and voyde of vnderstanding: I was euen a bruite beast before thee. 23 Neuerthelesse I am alway with thee: for thou hast holden me by my ryght hande. 24 Thou hast guyde me with thy counsayle: and after that thou receauedst me with glorie. 25 Whom haue I in heauen but thee? and there is none vpon earth that I desire besides thee. 26 My fleshe and my heart fayleth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for euer. 27 For lo, they that kepe them selues a loofe from thee shall perishe: thou destroyest euery one that committeth fornication agaynst thee. 28 But it is good for me to come neare vnto God: [wherfore] I put my trust in thee O Lorde God, that I may declare all thy workes.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Whom have I in heaven but thee,.... Which includes God the Father, Son, and Spirit; God the Father, as his only covenant God and Father; Christ as his only Mediator, Saviour, and Redeemer, Head, Husband, Advocate, and Intercessor; the Spirit as his only sanctifier, Comforter, earnest, and sealer; and is expressive of their being the one and only Lord God, the sole object of worship, trust, and confidence; his only helper and guide; and in whom his supreme happiness and glory lay; and it excludes the sun, moon, and stars, in the lower heavens, from being the object of worship and trust; and angels and glorified saints in the highest heavens: the words may be rendered, "who is for me in heaven?" e on my side, my protector and defender; see Romans 8:31

and there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee; or "with thee" f; there are many things on earth desirable, as riches, health, friends, food, raiment, c. but not to be compared with God and Christ, and the blessed Spirit with the love of God, the grace of Christ, and the communion of the Holy Ghost; there are none to be loved and delighted in as they, nor anything so desirable as fellowship with them: or "with thee I desire not the earth" g; the whole world, and all things in it, are nothing in comparison of God; if a man was possessed of the whole of it, and had not interest in the Lord, he would be miserable; and if he has an interest in him, he has enough without it; for all things are his, God is all in all; wherefore he is willing to leave all, and be with him for ever: the Targum is,

"who is like unto thee, that is, mine in heaven but thee? and with thee I do not desire a companion on earth.''

See Psalms 89:6.

e מי לי "quis pro me?" Gejerus. f עמך "tecum", Pagninus, Montanus, Tigurine version, Masculus, Gejerus. g לא חפצתי בארץ "nec terram totam diligo tecum", Gejerus.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

whom have I in heaven but thee? - literally, “Who is to me in the heavens?” That is, There is no one there that in my love for him can be compared with thee; no one who can do for me what thou canst do; no one who can meet and satisfy the needs of my soul as thou canst; no one who can be to me what God “is” - what a God “must” be. After all my complaining and my doubts there is no one, not even in the heavens, who cant supply the place of “God,” or be to me what God is; and the warm affections of my soul, therefore, are “really” toward him. I feel my need of him; and I must and do find my supreme happiness in him. What would even heaven be to me without God? who there, even of the angels of light, could supply the place of God?

And there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee - That is, Thou art all-sufficient; thou dost meet and satisfy the needs of my nature. All my happiness is in thee; no one on earth could be substituted in thy place, or be to me what thou art as God.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 73:25. Whom have I in heaven but thee?] The original is more emphatic: מי לי בשמים ועמך לא חפצתי בארץ mi li bashshamayim; veimmecha lo chaphatsti baarets. "Who is there to me in the heavens? And with thee I have desired nothing in the earth." No man can say this who has not taken God for his portion in reference to both worlds.
