See how they conceive evil,
and are pregnant with mischief,
and bring forth lies.
They make a pit, digging it out,
and fall into the hole that they have made.
Their mischief returns upon their own heads,
and on their own heads their violence descends.
When I have chosen badly, there is a tendency to persist.
To dig the pit even deeper.
So much better to recognize early my error.
To restore what I have dug.
And walk away giving thanks.
Psalm 7
