Context of Psalms 138:5
3On the day I called, You answered me; You made me bold with strength in my soul. 4All the kings of the earth will give thanks to You, Lord, When they have heard the words of Your mouth. And they will sing of the ways of the Lord, For great is the glory of the Lord. 6For the Lord is exalted, Yet He looks after the lowly, But He knows the haughty from afar. 7Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will reach out with Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, And Your right hand will save me.
