We stand on the shoulders of giants, who walked and taught long before the ancestors we can name ever existed. We must remember that many men throughout history have walked with God through Christ, and even if we never heard of them, we must give them respect for they too read and contemplated the same Scriptures as we do today. In this case I tip my hat to one, Peter Lombard, who wrote the words I added to the image, in 1611.
Psalm 86
Prayer for Mercy, with Meditation
on the Excellencies of the LORD
- Bow down thine ear, O Lord, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
- Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
- Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
- Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
- For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
- Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
- In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
- Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.
- All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
- For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.
- Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
- I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
- For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
- O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.
- But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
- O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
- Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, Lord, hast holpen me, and comforted me.

Feel free to leave a comment, and it will be posted immediately. However, if your comment is offensive in anyway, it will be removed.
I welcome differing opinions, I do believe in free speech, just not vulgar cuss laden comments written for the only purpose of offending people in general.
Differing opinions is not what I refer to, go ahead and disagree, but in a polite way so we can have a logical respectful discussion.
By offensive, I mean by being vulgar, as in swearing, using God's name in vain, or derogatorily offensive in a way you would not talk to your own Grandmother, Mother, or daughter, and then the comment will be removed.
I may not respond to your comment promptly, and there is no way with blogger for me to respond directly to your comment,. So come back and look for me to respond in a new comment to you by the name you post your comment with.
