Thou knowest all things, and thou knowest, Lord, that it was neither in contempt nor pride, nor for any desire of glory, that I did not bow down to proud Aman.
20
For thou hast made heaven and earth, and all the wondrous things under the heaven.
21
Thou art Lord of all things, and there is no man that can resist thee, which art the Lord.
22
Thou knowest all things, and thou knowest, Lord, that it was neither in contempt nor pride, nor for any desire of glory, that I did not bow down to proud Aman.
23
For I could have been content with good will for the salvation of Israel to kiss the soles of his feet.
24
But I did this, that I might not prefer the glory of man above the glory of God: neither will I worship any but thee, O God, neither will I do it in pride.
