The parable in this week's lesson dealt with the fearfulness of humans and the consequences. This psalm is a prayer that confesses human frailty, our iniquities and our secret sins. "We deserve your wrath," the psalmist admits.
But, enclosing this admission is a greater recognition: God cares for us, and has cared for us, and will care for us. God was here before we knew we needed God. We realize that our lives here will come to an end, and we need God's help.
Lectio Divina: Psalm 90:7-8,12
