Ž 138, 1-8

1 I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee. 2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. 3 In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul. 4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth. 5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD. 6 Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off. 7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. 8 The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.

Verš 6

Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

Ž 113:6 - Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!

Z 138,8 - Dávid prosí, aby Pán "neopustil dielo svojich rúk", aby bedlil nad svojím národom, nad jeho kráľmi, kým nepríde prisľúbený Mesiáš (porov. 2 Sam 7,28.29).
