Psalms 18:27

For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.

Ver. 27. For thou wilt save the afflicted people] Even the same whom before he had called merciful, or godly, upright, pure, here are the afflicted, and seem by God to be neglected; but he will save them assuredly, though he bear long with them, Luke 18:7 .

But wilt bring down high looks] In Samuel it is, "Thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down," 2 Samuel 22:28, q.d. God's eyes are upon them all the while that he spareth them, to watch for a fit season to ruin them.
