Though the LORD be high, yet has he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knows from afar.
All Commentaries on Psalms 138:6 Go To Psalms 138
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
The high The proud and haughty, who exalt themselves , God knoweth afar off; that is, he despiseth them, and setteth them at a distance from him; whilst he stoopeth down to favour and embrace the low and humble. (Challoner)
He treats the proud as strangers to him. (Worthington)
If kings would sing in the ways of the Lord, they also must love, and be humble. (St. Augustine)
God knows all things before they happen, (St. Chrysostom) and both high and low are equally open to his eye, Psalm cxii. 5., and cxxxviii. 2., and 8. (Calmet)
