Psalm 69:5 "O God, You know my foolishness..."

Day 302 – Psalm 69

“O God, You know my foolishness…” Psalm 69:5

BARING THE HEART

In desperate times, prayer must be a baring of the heart. David bared his heart to God in the following text.

“Those who hate me without a cause
Are more than the hairs of my head;
They are mighty who would destroy me,
Being my enemies wrongfully;
Though I have stolen nothing, I still must restore it.
O God, You know my foolishness;
And my sins are not hidden from You.”
Psalm 69:4-5
