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 t    he LORD the thanks due to his righteousness, and I will sing praise to the name of the LORD, the Most High.

Thank You and praise You, my Lord and Master that You lifted me out of that pit which I had dug.  My  mischief had indeed returned upon my own head and those of my family, but You drew me to Yourself, washed me in the Blood of the Lamb and made me whole in Your sight. And then, in your goodness and mercy, set me to the high calling of shepherd to the flock. Praise You and praise You forever and ever, Amen.
