And at evening they return, They growl like a dog, And go all around the city. They wander up and down for food, And howlif they are not satisfied.
But I will sing of Your power; Yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning; For You have been my defense And refuge in the day of my trouble. To You, O my Strength, I will sing praises; For God is my defense, My God of mercy.

The cure for condemnation is Forgiveness
But immediately, when Jesus perceived in His spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, He said to them, “Why do you reason about these things in your hearts?
Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise, take up your bed and walk’?But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the paralytic, “I say...
