Lord, my heart is not haughty, filled with arrogant pride on account of his elevation from the lowly position of shepherd to that of the king of Israel, nor mine eyes lofty, for the pride of the heart finds its expression chiefly in the eyes; neither do I exercise myself in great matters, with the officious meddling of such as think that no important matter can be decided and carried out without their assistance, or in things too high for me, for the proud in heart disdain to engage in the trivial matters of every-day life, believing themselves to be called for great and decisive matters only. The characterization of the proud is brief, but inclusive and fitting.
