MEEKNESS.
The Lord lifteth up the meek.—Psalm cxlvii. 6.
The Lord taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.—Psalm cxlix. 4.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.—Matthew, v. 5.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me: for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.—Matthew, xi. 29.
O, what a doctrine of almighty depth
Messiah founded, when His truth declar’d
In meekness lies the majesty of man!
