Ver. 4. Blessed is that man, &c.] See Psalms 2:12 .

And respecteth not the proud] Who are set in opposition to believers, as they are also, Habakkuk 2:4. Self-justitiaries especially, and meritmongers: faith is a humbling grace.

Nor such as turn aside to lies] As do heretics and idolaters. These the true believer, out of the greatness of his spirit, slighteth, how great soever they be; animo magno nihil magnum.
