Denn der HERR ist hoch und sieht auf das Niedrige und kennt die Stolzen von ferne.
Porque el alto Jehová atiende al humilde; Mas al altivo mira de lejos.
Aunque Jehová es excelso, mira al humilde y conoce de lejos al orgulloso.
L'Eternel est élevé: il voit les humbles, Et il reconnaît de loin les orgueilleux.
Perciocchè il Signore è eccelso, e riguarda le cose basse; E conosce da lungi l’altiero.
Ainda que o SENHOR é excelso, atenta todavia para o humilde; mas ao soberbo conhece-o de longe.
耶和華雖崇高,卻看顧卑微的人; 驕傲的人,他從遠處即能認出。
