A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD! O Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for mercy! If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness,…
Look on my affliction and deliver me, for I do not forget your law. It seems that the affliction is insensitivity to the plight of those around me. am I so self-centered? Am I blind to the needs? Or am I not hearing those gentle nudges from the Holy Spirit…
