Living Psalm 25:7-10

Psalms in the form of words and art, reborn in the specific contexts of our world, privileging the voices of historically marginalized communities and those acting in solidarity with them.

#Living Psalm 25:7-10

Dwell not on when I wandered from a good path in the days of my childhood, or my wrongdoings; manifesting your unwavering love, reflect on me, your beloved child for your heart’s uplifting O Sonkwaiatison, our Creator.

Mighty and honourable our Chief is the Maker;
Accordingly, they teach the wanderers the wisdoms.

They direct the unassuming in the trails which take us to abundance and guide the unsure to walk in their ways.
Travelling the waterways, through the woods and open glens, the mountains and snow covered plains our moccasins walk securely in devotion and trust for the nations who hold true to the treaties and alliances are one. All my relations. Amen.

Nancy Best / Golden Feather Woman

(Sonkwaiatison is Mohawk for Creator)
