"Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity" (Psalm 62:9). "The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe. Many seek the ruler's favor, but every man's judgment cometh from the Lord" (Proverbs 29:25,26).
Those who boast that they are great
Are boasting of a lie,
As balances that check their weight
Will surely testify.
Why then should we ever fear
The weight of man's displeasure?
The humble and obedient ear
Is what our Lord will treasure.
Many seek the ruler's favor,
But judgment comes from God.
The balance true is from our Savior
All others, then, are flawed.
