Prayers of the Heart: Let and Let Not in Psalm 119:Let the Proud Be Ashamed… Let Me Not Be Ashamed of My Hope

"Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts." — Psalm 119:78
"Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope." — Psalm 119:116

The psalmist knows he has no reason to be ashamed because his hope is right and placed in the right Person. If his hope had been in himself or in another person, he would have reason to be ashamed. He who trusts in the Lord is humble and obeys His Word, so he has nothing to be ashamed of.

The proud, on the other hand, rely on themselves, and thus, they will be ashamed.
