The Message

Psalm 25:8-17 The Message (MSG)

8. God is fair and just;He corrects the misdirected,Sends them in the right direction.

9. He gives the rejects his hand,And leads them step-by-step.

10. From now on every road you travelWill take you to God.Follow the Covenant signs;Read the charted directions.

11. Keep up your reputation, God;Forgive my bad life;It’s been a very bad life.

12. My question: What are God-worshipers like?Your answer: Arrows aimed at God’s bull’s-eye.

13. They settle down in a promising place;Their kids inherit a prosperous farm.

14. God-friendship is for God-worshipers;They are the ones he confides in.

15. If I keep my eyes on God,I won’t trip over my own feet.

16. Look at me and help me!I’m all alone and in big trouble.

17. My heart and kidneys are fighting each other;Call a truce to this civil war.
