Psalm 30:6-12 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.… For quaintly said of the elder Pitt that he "fell up-stairs" when he was elevated to the peerage. Many a man cannot stand going up higher.. He becomes haughty, proud; he affects dignity, he lords it over God's heritage; he becomes too big with conscious superiority. Like Jeshurun, he waxes fat and kicks. He falls up-stairs; up, not down. (A. S. Pierson, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.WEB: As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I shall never be moved." |
