Psalms 25:16
14 The LORD confides in those who fear Him, and reveals His covenant to them.
15 My eyes are always on the LORD, for He will free my feet from the mesh.
Turn to me and be gracious, for I am lonely and afflicted.
17 The troubles of my heart increase; free me from my distress.
18 Consider my affliction and trouble, and take away all my sins.
