A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold is as pictures of silver.(Prov.25:11) It is so important to speak the right words to people at the right time to produce the right results. When you think of apples of gold in pictures of silver, then you are thinking of wealth and excellence. When we speak wisdom into the lives of others we are making them wealthy. Therefore we must seek God for He is the source of all wisdom and He will give us just the right words needed at the right time.

#Cast forth lightning and scatter them: shoot thine arrows and destroy them. Send thine hand from above; rid me and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children; Whose mouth speaketh vanity and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood. I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee. It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword. Psalm 144:6-10
Almighty God knows all there is to know about meteorology and uses lightning as a weapon. Call upon the Lord in the day of trouble and he will deliver thee, as he did for David. The wicked have a right hand which has falsehood and out of their mouth comes vanity. Yet thou O God has a right hand of power that delivers his servants from trouble. God delivered David his servant from the hurtful sword and we too can call upon him in the day of trouble so he can deliver us too.
#Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war and my fingers to fight. My goodness and my fortress; my high tower and my deliverer: my shield and he in whom I trust: who subdueth my people under me. LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him! Man is like to vanity; his days are as a shadow that passeth away. Bow thy heavens, O LORD and come down: touch the mountains and they shall smoke. Psalm 144:1-5
Happy be Jehovah God, my strength, which teacheth my hands to war and my fingers to fight. Jehovah, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! Man is like to vanity; his days are as a shadow that passes away. Thank you O thou great Jehovah and come down: touch the mountains and they shall smoke. Who is like unto thee? O thou great Jehovah, I will praise thee for ever.
#Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning: for in thee do I trust; Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me. Teach me to do thy will: for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness. Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble. And of thy mercy cut off my enemies and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant. Psalm 143:7-12
Revive me, O thou great Jehovah, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble. For I trust in thee, my great Redeemer. By thy mercies cut off my enemies and destroy them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant O God. Thank you for teaching the way that I should walk and I lift up my soul unto thee.
#Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me and in thy righteousness. And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living to be justified. For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead. Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate. I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the works of thy hands. I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah. Psalm 143:1-6
David is praying to Jehovah God to hear his prayer in faithfulness answer me in thy righteousness. Then he says: enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living to be justified. As the enemy hath made me dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead. What a blessing that I remember the days of old: I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands. Only Jehovah God can save my soul in a thirsty and dry land. I will praise thee O God, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I will give thanks to thee to be in the land of the living.
#I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication. I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble. When my spirit was overwhelmed within, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me. I looked on my right hand and beheld but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul. I cried unto thee, O LORD; I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living. Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors: for they are stronger than I. Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me. Psalm 142:1-7
David is in a cave and he prayed to Jehovah God and showed all his trouble. The wicked laid a snare for him in the way that he walked. I cried out to Jehovah: I said Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living. Attend unto my cry: for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors: for they are stronger than I. O Lord bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: then he says the righteous shall compass me about: for thou shalt deal bountifully with me. Thank God that we too can pray to Jehovah God and he will hear as well as deliver us.
#When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet. Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth. But my eyes are unto thee, O God the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute. Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me and the gins of the workers of iniquity. Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape. Psalm 141:6-10
O Antonia: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute. Keep me from the snares which the wicked have laid for me and the gins of the workers of iniquity. Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst I escape. Thank the Lord for he will protect me from all the workers of all iniquity. So keep your tongue from speaking evil of your neighbors and rejoice in the Lord always; again I say rejoice.
#LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee. Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with men that work iniquity and let me not eat of their dainties. Let the righteous smite me: it shall be kindness and let and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities. Psalm 141:1-5
Jehovah God, set a watch, O thou great Jehovah before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. We must bridle the tongue, for only God is able to bridle this member. Therefore, we pray that he will set a watch before our mind so that we will only speak good words. Then David cries out to let the righteous smite me, for it shall be oil to my head. I will pray also for them that no calamities will come upon them.
#Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah. As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them. Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire: into deep pits, that they rise not up again. Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him. I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted and the right of the poor. Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence. Psalm 140:8-13
Thank thee O thou great Jehovah that thou grant not the desires of the wicked; lest they exalt themselves. Selah. Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him. I know that Jehovah God shall maintain the cause of the afflicted and the right of the poor.
#Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man; Which imagine mischiefs in their heart: continually are they gathered together for war. They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent: adders' poison is under their lips. Selah. Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked: preserve me from the violent man: who have purposed to overthrow my goings. The proud have hidden a snare for me and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside: they have set gins for me. Selah. I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD. O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle. Psalm 140:1-7
This is a Psalm of David and he is praying for Jehovah God to deliver me from the evil man and preserve me from the violent man. Keep me, O thou great Jehovah from the hands of the wicked who imagine mischiefs in their heart: continually they are gathered together for war. The proud have hidden a snare for me and cords: they have spread a net by the wayside: they have set gins for me. Selah. I have said unto Jehovah, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O thou great Jehovah, O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation. Thank the Lord thou hast covered my head in the day of battle. What a blessing to call upon the Lord in the day of trouble and he will hear me.
#How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me, therefore, ye bloody men. For they speak against thee wickedly and thine enemies take thy name in vain. Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them, mine enemies. Search me, O God and know my heart: try me and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 139:17-24
David had learned the bitter lesson of how evil his heart could become when he lusted after Bathsheba and had her husband murdered. So he cries out for Jehovah God to search me, O God, and know my heart: try me and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting. We should pray this prayer too lest our hearts become over shadowed with haughtiness and we are tempted to go astray. Only God can know our hearts and how to search them, then to lead us in the way everlasting.
