Psalms 108
Ready to read
1
Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, But counselors of peace have joy.
2
No harm befalls the righteous, But the wicked are filled with trouble.
3
Lying lips are extremely disgusting to the LORD, But those who deal faithfully are His delight.
4
A shrewd man is reluctant to display his knowledge [until the proper time], But the heart of [over-confident] fools proclaims foolishness.
5
The hand of the diligent will rule, But the negligent and lazy will be put to forced labor.
6
Anxiety in a man's heart weighs it down, But a good (encouraging) word makes it glad.
7
The righteous man is a guide to his neighbor, But the way of the wicked leads them astray.
8
The lazy man does not catch and roast his prey, But the precious possession of a [wise] man is diligence [because he recognizes opportunities and seizes them].
9
In the way of righteousness is life, And in its pathway there is no death [but immortality—eternal life].
10
A wise son heeds and accepts [and is the result of] his father's discipline and instruction, But a scoffer does not listen to reprimand and does not learn from his errors.
11
From the fruit of his mouth a [wise] man enjoys good, But the desire of the treacherous is for violence.
12
The one who guards his mouth [thinking before he speaks] protects his life; The one who opens his lips wide [and chatters without thinking] comes to ruin.
13
The soul (appetite) of the lazy person craves and gets nothing [for lethargy overcomes ambition], But the soul (appetite) of the diligent [who works willingly] is rich and abundantly supplied.
