Penitential Psalms 143 and 6: Cries for Justice and Mercy

Prepared for Psalms Group, March 7, 2021

One benefit of praying the psalms is how they keep reminding us of our own and every other person’s limited humanity.  Seeing and/or experiencing human limitation can open our hearts to God’s ways of living:  

He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love mercy (hesed), and to walk humbly with your God.

Micah 6:8
