humility

{A Song of degrees of David.} LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.

Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD.

Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.

For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.

And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:

Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory.

Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.

A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high.

When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.

The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.

And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.
