"Moses told his father in law... how the LORD delivered them... And Jethro said, Blessed be the LORD, who hath delivered you... for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly He was above them" (Exodus 18:8-11). "The wicked, through the pride of his countenance... hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved" (Psalm 10:4-6). "The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble" (Proverbs 4:19). "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might" (Ephesians 6:10).
When
Pharaoh stood up in his pride,
He
vainly thought he would prevail
Against
those on Jehovah's side,
Since
he presumed he could not fail.
The
wicked still presumes today
That
he shall never be reproved.
Within
his heart, God hears him say
So
proudly, "I shall not be moved."
The
proud may boast, but not forever,
For
in the end he shall be humble.
Though
he may think that he is clever,
By
his presumption, he shall stumble.
You've
shown us, Lord, that pride is wrong,
Destructive,
and presumptuous,
For
in You only, we are strong,
And
in Your might, victorious.
