Oh, continue your steadfast love to those who know you, and your righteousness to the upright of heart! Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away. There the evildoers lie fallen; they are thrust down, unable to rise.
Lord, it is so easy for me to become arrogant in my salvation, to become self-righteous and aloof towards to whom I regard as less “godly” than me. Help me, Lord, guide me into godly humility and a contrite spirit.
