The Lord Always Good and Upright - Psalm 25: 8,9

Read the scriptures all the way through
clearly teaching of God's attributes
which tell of His being good and upright
aiming to bring out in His people real fruit

God brings sinners to be taught
what He requires in the divine way
this way of righteousness and grace
filling their hearts with His light always

The Lord requires His own be meek
with His wise hand, He shall guide
showing them the correct path to take
so with assurance, they can confide

God truly loves a meek spirit
one that is reverential at heart
that's teachable willing to learn
so to show God they're ready to start

The Lord seeks those of humility
those that God knows to love Him so
united in love full of God's perfect love
showing this to all whether friend or foe

("Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.")
Psalm 25: 8,9 (KJV)
