If Self-Pride Takes Hold:
Read Psalm 19
(Psa 19:1 KJV) <To the
chief Musician, A Psalm of David.> The heavens declare the glory of God; and the
firmament sheweth his handywork.
(Psa 19:2 KJV) Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth
knowledge.
(Psa 19:3 KJV) There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
(Psa 19:4 KJV) Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to
the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
(Psa 19:5 KJV) Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth
as a strong man to run a race.
(Psa 19:6 KJV) His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit
unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
(Psa 19:7 KJV) The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the
testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
(Psa 19:8 KJV) The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the
commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
(Psa 19:9 KJV) The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments
of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
(Psa 19:10 KJV) More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold:
sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
(Psa 19:11 KJV) Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them
there is great reward.
(Psa 19:12 KJV) Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret
faults.
(Psa 19:13 KJV) Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not
have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the
great transgression.
(Psa 19:14 KJV) Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be
acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
