Psalms 119:141

Psalms 119:141. I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.

He was poor but pious, little but loving, despised but devoted. It was the man who had but one talent who went and digged in the earth, and hid his Lord’s money. David was not of that kind; he was small, but he knew he was not too small to sin; he was despised, but he did not on that account think that he might turn aside from the right path.
