Psalms 147:6

“The Lord lifteth up the meek, etc.] The lowly and humble souls, such as are made so by the Spirit of God; he shows them their sinfulness, and want of righteousness; the insufficiency of their own, and need of Christ’s; blowing a blast upon all their goodliness, so bringing down their natural pride and haughtiness, and causing them to submit to Christ, that he alone might be exalted; such as learn of him, who is meek and lowly, and become the followers of the humble Jesus; who being partakers of his grace, have low thoughts of themselves, as if the least of saints and chief of sinners; and higher thoughts of others; who ascribe all they have and are to the grace of God; and who make no boast…”

“That power is put forth for the good of the meek and suffering pious, and confusion of the wicked (Psa 146:8-9).”

“The Lord lifteth up the meek - The humble; the poor; the bowed down; the oppressed. See the notes at Psalms 146:8 : “The Lord raiseth them that are bowed down.” He casteth the wicked down to the ground - See the notes at Psalms 146:9 : “The way of the wicked he turneth upside down.” return to 'Top of Page'”
