Psalms 25 Completed

“The troubles of my heart are enlarged : O bring thou me out of my distresses. Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins. Consider mine enemies ; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred. O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed ; for I put my trust in thee. Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee. Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.”

Show me Your ways, Lord – for, I put my trust in You. Amen.

Oak Leaf and Trees

Oak Leaf offspring from a small seedling we bought probably 20 years ago. And, the Bald Cypress in the Tree Garden (a long way from 90′ tall, but getting started)

Psalms 25 continued

“For thy name’s sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great. What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose . His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant. Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net. Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.” Psalms 25:11-16 KJV

Psalms 25 (continued)

“Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.  All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.” Psalms 25:8-10

Psalms 25 – Continued – my favorite section (and a prayer for every day).

“Show me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. Remember , O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy loving kindnesses; for they have been ever of old. Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD.” Psalms 25:4-7
