For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
God will save the afflicted and humble people, and He will bring down the proud and their high looks. This is His just response to character and conduct, for He deals mercifully with the merciful and humbles those who exalt themselves. It comforts those who are afflicted with the assurance that God will deliver them, joined to His bringing low of those who lift themselves up.
In the service of Christ, humble trust and thankfulness count for more than demanding a specified reward. God honors those who serve Him in that humble and thankful spirit, while pride and self-congratulation are brought low.
