One of many things I love about the Bible is the language. It penetrates our culture to this day. I think our culture needs some Bible penetration! Oh, and we all need God to deliver us from the wicked, there are plenty of them, proud and fat-hearted.

Psalm 17:8-13
Keep me as the apple of Your eye;
Hide me under the shadow of Your wings,
From the wicked who oppress me,
From my deadly enemies who surround me.
They have closed up their fat hearts;
With their mouths they speak proudly.
They have now surrounded us in our steps;
They have set their eyes, crouching down to the earth,
As a lion is eager to tear his prey,
And like a young lion lurking in secret places.
Arise, O Lord,
Confront him, cast him down;
Deliver my life from the wicked with Your sword,
