There are only three verses in this beautiful, short, potent psalm. But they give us several keys that we can apply today. The first verse starts like this: “O LORD my heart is not lifted up; my eyes are not raised too high.” That is a radical statement for a king to make, especially in that culture. He was the most powerful person in his nation. He would have been treated like a god. But he is saying in this psalm, “I know there is a God and I am not him. People treat me like a god, but I am not going to buy into that.”
