For Reading and Meditation:     Psalm 51:1-9

Even the most casual reader of Psalm 73 cannot help but be struck by the openness and honesty of the psalmist. He says: "My feet had almost slipped – for I envied the arrogant" (vv. 2-3). This again is one of the great values of the book of Psalms - it brings home to us the...
