[From June 7, 2004]
The rebuke of the
wise does not appeal to me much;
hearing the truth
about myself is hard to endure;
in general, I seem to
prefer the song of fools.
As a result, I sink
in the pit I have made; and I catch
my own foot in the
net I have hidden for others.
Have mercy on me,
Lord, son of David.

Selected Verses
Psalm 9:15
The nations have sunk in the pit that they made;
in the net
that they hid has their own foot been caught.
Ecclesiastes 7:5
It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise than to hear the
song of fools.
Galatians 4:16
Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?
Matthew 15:22
Just then a Canaanite woman from that region came out and
started shouting, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is
tormented by a demon.”
