PSALMS 25:9

24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when 1 HE cried unto him, he heard. 25 My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him. 26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever. 27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the 2 LORD : 3 and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. P 28 3 For the kingdom is the 2 LORD ’ S : and he is the governor among the nations. P 29 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before 3 HIM : and none can keep alive his own soul. P 30 A seed shall serve 3 HIM ; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. P 31 3 They shall come, and shall declare 4 HIS righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this. P Psalm 23 A psalm of King David [Probably written when King David (61 years old) reflected upon his friend who through God had cared for him - II Sam 19:39] Date Written - c. 1019 BC/AM 2981 1 The LORD is my 5 SHEP HERD ( JE HOV AH ROAH); I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I 6 walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 7 Thou preparest a table beforeme in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
