God's wordShamePride

76 May Your loving devotion comfort me, I pray, according to Your promise to Your servant.

77 May Your compassion come to me, that I may live, for Your law is my delight.

May the arrogant be put to shame for subverting me with a lie; I will meditate on Your precepts.

79 May those who fear You turn to me, those who know Your testimonies.

80 May my heart be blameless in Your statutes, that I may not be put to shame.
