1. A man of a contrite and humble spirit.
For thus saith he that is high and excellent, 1he that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is the Holy One; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to give life to them that are of a contrite heart.
The sacrifices of God are a contrite spirit: 1a contrite and a broken heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
