Psalms 131:1-2

I Have Calmed and Quieted My Soul

A Song of ^aAscents. Of David.

1 O Lord, my heart is not ^blifted up;
my eyes are not ^craised too high;
I do not ^doccupy myself with things
too great and ^etoo marvelous for me.
2 But I have calmed and quieted my soul,
like a weaned ^fchild with its mother;
like a weaned child is my soul within me.

Isaiah 2:12

12 ^gFor the Lord of hosts has a day
against all that is proud and lofty,
against all that is lifted up—and it shall be brought low;

Daniel 5:20-23

20 But ^hwhen his heart was lifted up and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, ⁱhe was brought down from his kingly throne, and his glory was taken from him. 21 ^jHe was driven from among the children of mankind, and his mind was made like that of a beast, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. He was fed grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, ^kuntil he knew that the ^lMost High God rules the kingdom of mankind and sets over it whom he will. 22 And you his son, ^{▼▼Or successor} ⁿBelshazzar, ^ohave not humbled your heart, though you knew all this, 23 but you have lifted up yourself against ^pthe Lord of heaven. And ^qthe vessels of his house have been brought in before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them. ^rAnd you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or know, ^sbut the God in whose hand is your breath, and ^twhose are all your ways, ^uyou have not honored.

Habakkuk 2:4

4 “Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him,
but ^vthe righteous shall live by his faith. ^{▼▼Or faithfulness}

2 Corinthians 12:7

7 So ^xto keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, ^{▼▼Or hears from me, even because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations. So to keep me from becoming conceited} ^za thorn was given me in the flesh, ^aaa messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited.

1 Peter 5:5

5 Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. ^abClothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for ^ac“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
