Psalm 7:14-17

Psalm 7:14-17, NKJV
Behold, the wicked man conceives evil and is pregnant with mischief and gives birth to lies. He makes a pit, digging it out, and falls into the hole that he has made. His mischief returns upon his own head, and on his own skull his violence descends. I will give to the LORD the thanks due to his righteousness, and I will sing praise to the name of the LORD, the Most High.

Psalm 7:14-17, JN paraphrase
The mark of the wicked is their propensity to conceive mischief and spread lies. But it is frequently startling to see how few times they earn from their problems. Rather like the old farm dog that never learns not to sneak up on an old bossie and try to nip her heals. Flying through the air after her kick never seemed to be a learnable lesson.

However, thanks be to the LORD, God, the Almighty and His righteousness, I have learned, albeit somewhat slowly. I do remember to praise the LORD in the midst of my troubles—sometimes.
