Day Ten - Psalm 141

The Psalm refers to wicked people and wickedness... an easy term to label people who murder, cheat, steal, commit affairs, etc... but what about those people who are really good at disguising their wickedness? Haven't we all been fooled at one time by someone who we thought were "good" but turned out to be wicked? Is there a difference between wicked people and people who "take part in acts of wickedness (:4b)"? Is this like the saying, there are people who sin and then there are people who are living in sin...? How do we decipher wicked people and wicked acts by "good" people? I suppose at the end of the day, we should avoid all wickedness; whether it be inside a person or an action taken by a good person.
