Psalm 57
1 Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me, for in you I take refuge
I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings
until the disaster has passed.
2 I cry out to God Most High, to God, who vindicates me.
3 He sends from heaven and saves me,
rebuking those who hotly pursue me—
God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.
I needed this today, as I work my way out of an attack. Lord hear me, I need you.
Proverbs 17:14
“Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam; so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out.”
27 The one who has knowledge uses words with restraint, and whoever has understanding is even-tempered.
28 Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues.
Lord help me discern when I need to speak truth and what needs to be left alone. Guide my words when it is time to speak truth.
