Today Sistertech remembers Frederick Douglass (born Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey, circa 1818 – February 20, 1895). He’s one of the most important figures in both African American and United States history. Have you read his narrative about his years in slavery? About learning how to read? Amazing stuff. For one who fought for the abolition of slavery and for equal voting rights for women this Psalm nearly says it all.
7Show us your steadfast love, O Lord,
and grant us your salvation.8Let me hear what God the Lord will speak,
for he will speak peace to his people,
to his faithful, to those who turn to him in their hearts.
9Surely his salvation is at hand for those who fear him,
that his glory may dwell in our land.
10Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet;
righteousness and peace will kiss each other.
11Faithfulness will spring up from the ground,
and righteousness will look down from the sky.
12The Lord will give what is good,
and our land will yield its increase.
13Righteousness will go before him,
and will make a path for his steps.
