serpent in Psalms 140
SER-pent
This creature shows up in Psalms 140:3: “They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper’s poison is under their lips. Selah.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Psalms 140:3
“They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper’s poison is under their lips. Selah.”
What kids can learn
When you hear serpent in Psalms, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Psalms 140:3 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
