Psalms 25
1To you, Yahvah, I lift up my soul.
2My god, I trust in you; do not let me be ashamed, do not let my enemies triumph over me.
3Yes, let no one who trusts in you be ashamed; let the wicked be ashamed with their vanity.
4Show me your ways, Yahvah; teach me your paths.
5Lead me in your truth, and teach me; for you are my god and my savior; on you I wait all the day.
6Remember, Yahvah, your tender mercies and your lovingkindnesses; for they are from the beginning of the world.
7Do not remember the foolishness of my youth, but according to your abundant mercy, remember me because of your goodness' sake, god.
8Good and upright is Yahvah; therefore he will direct sinners in the way.
9He will guide the meek in judgment, and he will teach the poor his way.
10All the paths of Yahvah are mercy and truth to such as keep his contract and his testimonies.
11For your name's sake, Yahvah, pardon my iniquity; for it is great.
12What man is he that fears Yahvah? He will teach him in the way that he has chosen.
13His soul will stay with grace, and his offspring will inherit the land.
14Yahvah is mindful of those who worship him, and he will show them his contract.
15My eyes are ever toward Yahvah; for he will release my feet out of the net.
16Turn to me, and have mercy on me; for I am the only son and destitute.
17The troubles of my heart are multiplied; bring me out of my distresses.
18Look on my affliction and my labor; and forgive all my sins.
19Consider my enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with an unjust hatred.
20Keep my soul, and deliver me, because I have trusted in you.
21The innocent and the upright have followed me because I have trusted in you.
22God has saved Israel from all of his oppressors.
Donor's Conference In Egypt
Egypt hosted a Gaza reconstruction Donor's conference at Sharm al-Shaikh. Depending on who did the counting, between 40 and 87 countries were represented.
The "quartet" responsible for the Israeli peace process also held meetings on the side.
UN Gen. Sec. Ban Ki Moon was also in attendance.
US Sec. of State Hillary Clinton was also there. She remains a VIP in the current prophetic series because of her history with Clinton and earlier prophetic headlines.
The funding is mostly pledges, and that mostly a restatement of earlier pledges, totaling $5.2 Billion. It is being directed through the UN and to Abbas of the Palestinian Authority and not to Hamas, which is still listed as a terrorist organization.
The border to Gaza remains closed to reconstruction materials, consistent with other themes for this Reuben related Psalm.
Matches
Psalm 25 is a match to the tribe of Reuben, and the them with Reuben is “sins of youth.” (See verse 7.) The Palestinians may be committing similar sins as they grow into national status.
The last verse, 22, reiterates that God has saved Israel from her oppressors. It is possible that the oppressors in question are the nations who assembled this date to rebuild Gaza.
The tone may be less severe considering the other verses. Time will tell.
