Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. Jesus knew the blessedness of faith.

Oh that you and...

Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. If you trust in God, you will have no reverence for the proud, nor for those who turn aside from God’s Word, and teach falsehood. If you really fear God, you will have no fear of men.

Many O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; The blood of all the bullocks, rams, and lambs offered in sacrifice, had possessed no real efficacy in putting away sin.
