Thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.1 |
Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.2 – Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.3 |
These six things doth the Lord hate: yea seven are an abomination unto him: a proud look.4 – Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord.5 |
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.6 |
Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God upon every remembrance of you.7 – Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.8 |
