Here's a better picture farouk. The major Oak is a Quercus Robur, the English or pendunculate oak.
The world famous tree weighs an estimated 23 tonnes, has a girth of 10 metres (33ft) and a spread of 28 metres (92ft) making it the biggest oak tree in Britain and is about 800–1000 years old.

@Pearl Great photo!

Interesting that Rebekah's nurse was buried under an oak...

"But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth." (Genesis 35.8)

Would have been a place that was easy to find again perhaps.

Psalms 91 - Prayer for Protection.
Psalms 131 - Prayer for Hope.
Psalms 40 - Prayer for Faith.

My mentor taught me these Psalms. I make it a daily routine to recite them out loud after the Matthew 6:5-14 version of the Lord's Prayer.

They all certainly give me peace afterwards. I highly recommend them.

On January 6, 2021, at roughly 12:30 AM Eastern Time, I have changed the Psalms to the correct ones. My deepest apologies! I am still learning because I am a flawed human being who is predisposed towards selfishness.

@Billy Evmur FYI...do you have a favorite Psalm?
So-o difficult I am just now reading through Psalms for the millionth time this time in the Living bible what a blessing, I recommend it totally.

Psalm 103 is certainly in the frame ... a great witness to salvation and healing and provision and deliverance.
"This poor man cried to the Lord and He answered me and delivered me from all my troubles."

Yes, I do! The first one, which I remind myself often, to be careful now with my friendships.

Psalm 1

Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
and who meditates on his law day and night.

That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
whatever they do prospers.

Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff
that the wind blows away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.

@FluffyYellowDuck Yes, it's a great Psalm! and you are right: one must be careful with one's friendships since we become like the company we keep. I think this links in well also with the theme of fellowship in John's First Epistle, and walking in the light.

1 John 1.3: "...truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ."

1 John 1.7: "if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin."
