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 praise You, Adonai, when they hear Your mouth’s speech. So they will sing of the ways of Adonai, for great is the glory of Adonai. 6For though Adonai is exalted, yet He looks upon the lowly, but the haughty He knows from afar. 7Though I walk amid trouble, You revive me. You stretch out Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and Your right hand delivers me.
