1Again, There is a two-fold lifting up of the head; First, a lifting up of the head with joy and consolation (Luk. 21.28.) Secondly, A lifting up of the head with pride and ostentation, Psal. 83.2. Lo thine enemies make a tumult, and they that hate thee have lift up the head; that is, they have proudly boasted and vaunted themselves. The later is Jobs sense, If I be righteous, I will not lift up my head in pride, he might and he did lift up his head in joy, because he knew himself righteous.

Once more, There is a lifting up of our heads in our selves, and a lifting up of our heads in Christ. Job disclaims the former here, but he all along assumes the later. We cannot lift up our heads too high, in the thoughts of free grace, nor hang them down too low, in the thought of our own works.
