Yes, the Lord is high above the earth.
    But he takes care of humble people.
He also knows what proud people are doing,
    even if they try to hide.[a]
When there is danger all round me,
    you help me to be strong.
When my enemy is angry, you fight against him.
    You save me with your strong right hand.[b]
The Lord stands with me to do what he has promised.
    Yes, Lord, your faithful love will always continue.
You have made us who we are,
    so do not leave us now!

Footnotes

  1. 138:6 This is about two groups of people: humble people and proud people. God is high above us in heaven. But he can still see people who need help. He also sees the proud people. There is nowhere for them to hide.
  2. 138:7 God's ‘strong right hand’ means his power to work.
