1. Wisdom from God's word (1-14)

Wisdom comes from God, who has given us his flawless word. One who adds to or subtracts from God's word is a liar (Rev 22:18,19). Falsehood and materialism destroy men's souls, so the psalmist asks to be kept from lies and from both poverty and riches. We only need our daily bread. Deeds that damage ourselves and others come from proud and impure hearts (10-14).

2. Learning the way of wisdom (15-33)

There are four things that are never satisfied. What are they? There are four mysterious things. What are they? The way of a man with a maiden should be a beautiful mystery, but if it becomes an immoral relationship, it is ugly (20). There are four things that no one can endure. What are they? In each case, groundless pride makes the person unbearably arrogant. There are four small but wise creatures from whom we should learn. There are four bold and fearless creatures. We should respect others and have a learning mind.

Application: Lord, give me wisdom to learn and wisdom to repent.
One Word: Wisdom is from God's word
