Keep Your Servant from Presumptuous Sins

Keep Your Servant from Presumptuous Sins

• David understood that as a man accustomed to use of power, he would be tempted to believe he had a right to overrule God, and thus, ironically, be overruled by his own presumption (“Let them not have dominion over me”)

13 Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins;
Let them not have dominion over me.
Then I shall be blameless,
And I shall be innocent of great transgression.
— Psalm 19:13
