Psalms 25:15
13 His soul will dwell in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land.
14 The LORD confides in those who fear Him, and reveals His covenant to them.
My eyes are always on the LORD, for He will free my feet from the mesh.
16 Turn to me and be gracious, for I am lonely and afflicted.
17 The troubles of my heart increase; free me from my distress.
