Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

5 Trust in the L ORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. We are here taught to live a life of communion with God; and without controversy great is this mystery of godliness, and of great consequence to us, and, as is here shown, will be of unspeakable advantage.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

He retaliates upon them ( Ps. xviii. 26 ); he resists the proud. (2.) Those who humble themselves shall be exalted, for he gives grace to the lowly; he works that in them which puts honour upon them and for which they are accepted of God and approved of men.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

), and therefore they shall inherit glory, for grace is glory, 2 Cor. iii. It is glory begun, the earnest of it, Ps. lxxxiv. (2.) Sinners are fools, for they are not only preparing disgrace for themselves, but at the same time flattering themselves with a prospect of honour, as if they only took the way to be great.
