Psalms 18:27

For you deliver oppressed ¹  people, but you bring down those who have a proud look. ² 

You save the humble but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.

For You save an afflicted people, But haughty eyes You abase.

You rescue those who are humble, but you humiliate the proud.

You take the side of the down-and-out, But the stuck-up you take down a peg.

For you are the saviour of those who are in trouble; but eyes full of pride will be made low.

For you deliver a humble people, but the haughty eyes you bring down.

For You will save the humble people, But will bring down haughty looks.

For you deliver oppressed ¹  people, but you bring down those who have a proud look. ² 

¹ tn Or perhaps, “humble” (note the contrast with those who are proud).

² tn Heb “but proud eyes you bring low.” 2 Sam 22:28 reads, “your eyes [are] upon the proud, [whom] you bring low.”
