Psalms 138:5

Yea, they shall sing— And shall sing of the ways of the Lord, that great is the glory of the Lord. "They shall make the ways of the Lord, his glorious acts, the subject of their songs; they shall say, that great is the glory, &c." to the end of the 6th verse; where he knoweth afar off, according to some, signifies, estrangeth himself from them, and despiseth them, though he knoweth them, since he knoweth all things, and will consequently punish them. But Mudge renders the clause, And descrieth the haughty from his distance: "He seeth the lowly and the haughty, and distinguisheth them at the distance at which he sits exalted." See also Houbigant.
