Psalms 138:5
3 On the day I called, You answered me; You emboldened me and strengthened my soul.
4 All the kings of the earth will give You thanks, O LORD, when they hear the words of Your mouth.
They will sing of the ways of the LORD, for the glory of the LORD is great.
6 Though the LORD is on high, He attends to the lowly; but the proud He knows from afar.
7 If I walk in the midst of trouble, You preserve me from the anger of my foes; You extend Your hand, and Your right hand saves me.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
