When I read chapter 103, verse four started off so familiar to me. Many times I've read or heard the beginning of the verse:"Who redeems your life from the pit and corruption"or another version states:"Who redeems your life from destruction"And it was easy for me to say, yes and amen to that, because the LORD has done that in my ...
