Out of athe miry clay,
And bset my feet upon a rock,
And established my steps.
Praise to our God;
Many will see it and fear,
And will trust in the Lord.
And does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
Which You have done;
bAnd Your thoughts toward us
Cannot be recounted to You in order;
If I would declare and speak of them,
They are more than can be numbered.
My ears You have opened.
Burnt offering and sin offering You did not require.

Psalms 40:4
The proud - Or, the mighty, the great and proud potentates of the world, to whom most men are apt to look and trust. Turn - From God, in whom alone they ought to trust. To lies - To lying vanities, such as worldly power and wisdom, and riches, and all other earthly things, or persons, in which men are prone to trust: which are called lies, because they promise more than they perform.
