Psalm 25:12

Dependence On The Lord

¹¹
For Your name’s sake, O Lord,
Pardon my wickedness and my guilt, for they are great. ¹² 
Who is the man who fears the Lord [with awe-inspired reverence and worships Him with submissive wonder]?
He will teach him [through His word] in the way he should choose.
¹³
His soul will dwell in prosperity and goodness,
And his descendants will inherit the land.
