Staggering vs. Strong

Read:  Psalm 119:137-144 / Proverbs 12 / 1 Kings 11 /Rom. 4

Psalm 119:140-141 Thy word is very pure... thy servant loveth it. I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.
Proverbs 12:26 The righteous is more excellent than his neighbor: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.
1 Kings 11:4 It came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as... David his father.
Romans 4:20-21 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

Though I am small and am despised,
The Word of God is very pure. 
The mockers all shall be surprised: 
God's Word forever shall endure! 

Beware, therefore, of the seduction
That Solomon had staggered in,
Which in the end was his destruction 
When faith, once strong, gave in to sin.
