Songs for today:
Sweetly Broken
We Believe
The king gives stability to the land by justice,
But a man who takes bribes overthrows it.
•••
The righteous is concerned for the rights of the poor,
The wicked does not understand such concern.
•••
Scorners set a city aflame,
But wise men turn away anger.
•••
When a wise man has a controversy with a foolish man,
The foolish man either rages or laughs, and there is no rest.
•••
The poor man and the oppressor have this in common:
The Lord gives light to the eyes of both.
•••
If a king judges the poor with truth,
His throne will be established forever.
•••
The fear of man brings a snare,
But he who trusts in the Lord will be exalted.
from Proverbs 29
