Psalms 40:4

Psa 40:4 Blessed [is] that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

Ver. 4. Blessed is that man, &c. ] See Psalms 2:12 .

And respecteth not the proud ] Who are set in opposition to believers, as they are also, Habakkuk 2:4 . Self-justitiaries especially, and meritmongers: faith is a humbling grace.

Nor such as turn aside to lies ] As do heretics and idolaters. These the true believer, out of the greatness of his spirit, slighteth, how great soever they be; animo magno nihil magnum.
