(ESV)
We have been going through and last time we meet we dug into the Metaphorical picture of Gods awesome power in verses 6-19.
Then we shifted into verses 20-26, and how at first glance it looked as though David was claiming that his own righteousness was what saved him, but we discovered that this was not the case and that David was not claiming this but attributes his goodness or his good works to the LORD.
Verse 32, “The God who equipped me with strength and made my way blameless.”
Today, God willing we will dig into verses 27 or more specifically “a humble people” and what that means.
As I was digging into this, it ended up not being as much about David and and more about being Humble.
27 For you save a humble people,
but the haughty eyes you bring down.
28 For it is you who light my lamp;
the Lord my God lightens my darkness.
29 For by you I can run against a troop,
and by my God I can leap over a wall.
30 This God—his way is perfect;
the word of the Lord proves true;
he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.
lets pray
The word Humble
6714 עָנִי (ʿā·nî): adj.; ≡ Str 6041; TWOT 1652d—1.
LN 87.58–87.75
afflicted, oppressed, poor, i.e., pertaining to being a lowly, needy state, as a class of persons of low status in a society, usually of persons in fiscal poverty, implying a lack of resource (Ex 22:24), note: for NIV text in Eze 18:17, see 6404; 2. LN 88.51–88.58
humble, gentle, i.e., pertaining to being unpretentious and straightforward, suggesting a lack of arrogance, hubris, or pride (Pr 3:34 K; Zec 9:9), note: for NIV text in Eze 18:17, see 6404
Lets look at some passages to get some context of the word humble
(ESV)

(ESV)
28 You save a humble people,
For you save a humble people, but the haughty eyes you bring down.
For it is you who light my lamp; the LORD my God lightens my darkness.
For by you I can run against a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall.
This God—His way is perfect; the word of the LORD proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.
but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them down.
(ESV)
34 Toward the scorners he is scornful,
but to the humble he gives favor.
For a person, to be a scorner or a scoffer is not being humble.
SCORN, SCORNFUL Dislike that turns to contempt and derision.
“Scorn” often appears in some Bible translations where “scoff” appears in others.
Scorn is often expressed by laughter (2 Kings 19:21; 2 Chron.
30:10).
In deep trouble psalmists often felt themselves scorned (Pss.
22:6; 31:11; 39:8; 44:13; 80:6; 89:41; 119:22; 123:4).
God scorns the wicked (Prov.
3:34), who, in turn, scorn Him (2 Sam.
12:14).
When His people refuse to be faithful, God can scorn them and their worship, expressed in destruction (Lam.
2:7).
See Scoffer.
Turn to and we will talk about King Hezekiah
Turn to
(ESV)
8 Do not now be stiff-necked as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to the Lord and come to his sanctuary, which he has consecrated forever, and serve the Lord your God, that his fierce anger may turn away from you. 9 For if you return to the Lord, your brothers and your children will find compassion with their captors and return to this land.
For the Lord your God is gracious and merciful and will not turn away his face from you, if you return to him.”
10 So the couriers went from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, and as far as Zebulun, but they laughed them to scorn and mocked them.
11 However, some men of Asher, of Manasseh, and of Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.
12 The hand of God was also on Judah to give them one heart to do what the king and the princes commanded by the word of the Lord.
13 And many people came together in Jerusalem to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the second month, a very great assembly.
This was in the time of King Hezekiah
The Bible says in that Hezekiah did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done.
He did not follow after his father Ahaz who was wicked in the eyes of the LORD.
Wicked even to the point of burning his sons as offerings in the valley of the Son of Hinnom.
Lets think about this for a moment… how this pertains to America today.
Abortion, the offering of our sons and daughters to the false god of self.
Lifting yourself above the plan of Yahweh by murdering your own babies to appease that self gratification of sex with no consequences.
I don’t believe that you can be a Jesus loving Christian and support Abortion.
Abortion is murder and it is idolatry.
There are many people in this country that claim Christianity on one hand and support murder on the other.
If you are that person, repent and turn to the LORD and he will forgive you.
Its not to late.
Hezekiah wanted to follow the LORD, and part of the following of the LORD was that he wanted to reinstitute the celebration of the passover.
The passover was a direct commandment from the LORD.
Hezekiah wanted to celebrate the passover.
Hezekiah was one of Kings Davids descendants.
He was the King of Judah and He ruled for 29 years.
Hezekiah was the son of Ahaz.
Ahaz was a wicked king that did not follow the LORD.
In part of the following of the LORD Hezekiah wanted to reinstitute the celebration of the passover.
The passover was a direct commandment from the LORD.
(ESV)
14 “This day shall be for you a memorial day, and you shall keep it as a feast to the Lord; throughout your generations, as a statute forever, you shall keep it as a feast.
(ESV)
25 And when you come to the land that the Lord will give you, as he has promised, you shall keep this service.
26 And when your children say to you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’
27 you shall say, ‘It is the sacrifice of the Lord’s Passover, for he passed over the houses of the people of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians but spared our houses.’
” And the people bowed their heads and worshiped.
When Hezekiah sent out couriers throughout the kingdom of Judah to remember the passover some laughed at them in scorn, but some humbled themselves.
So I think that in most cases we can say that to be humble is to be the opposite of scornful.
I say most cases because we know that the LORD will be scornful towards sinners.
(ESV)
34 Toward the scorners he is scornful,
Also I think if you get looking into it you may find that some of the Prophets of old may have been scorners towards the false priests of the false gods.
take for instance Elijah when he goes up against the prophets of Baal.
(ESV)
24 And you call upon the name of your god, and I will call upon the name of the Lord, and the God who answers by fire, he is God.”
And all the people answered, “It is well spoken.”
25 Then Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “Choose for yourselves one bull and prepare it first, for you are many, and call upon the name of your god, but put no fire to it.”
26 And they took the bull that was given them, and they prepared it and called upon the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, “O Baal, answer us!”
But there was no voice, and no one answered.
And they limped around the altar that they had made.
27 And at noon Elijah mocked them, saying, “Cry aloud, for he is a god.
Either he is musing, or he is relieving himself, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened.”
28 And they cried aloud and cut themselves after their custom with swords and lances, until the blood gushed out upon them.
29 And as midday passed, they raved on until the time of the offering of the oblation, but there was no voice.
No one answered; no one paid attention.
24 Then you call on the name of your god and I will call on the name of the Lord; the god who answers by fire is indeed God.”
