Psalms 138

1 I will give thee thanks with my whole heart. I will sing praises to thee before the gods.

Ipsi David. Confitebor tibi Domine in toto corde meo: quoniam audisti verba oris mei. In conspectu angelorum psallam tibi:

2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and give thanks to thy name for thy loving kindness and for thy truth. For thou have magnified thy word above all thy name.

adorabo ad templum sanctum tuum, et confitebor nomini tuo. Super misericordia tua, et veritate tua: quoniam magnificasti super omne, nomen sanctum tuum.

3 Thou answered me in the day that I called. Thou encouraged me with strength in my soul.

In quacumque die invocavero te, exaudi me: multiplicabis in anima mea virtutem.

4 All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O Jehovah, for they have heard the words of thy mouth.

Confiteantur tibi Domine omnes reges terræ: quia audierunt omnia verba oris tui:

5 Yea, they shall sing of the ways of Jehovah, for great is the glory of Jehovah.

Et cantent in viis Domini: quoniam magna est gloria Domini.

6 For though Jehovah is high, yet he has respect to the lowly. But he knows the haughty from afar.

Quoniam excelsus Dominus, et humilia respicit: et alta a longe cognoscit.

7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou will revive me. Thou will stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies, and thy right hand will save me.

Si ambulavero in medio tribulationis, vivificabis me: et super iram inimicorum meorum extendisti manum tuam, et salvum me fecit dextera tua.

8 Jehovah will perfect that which concerns me. Thy loving kindness, O Jehovah, is forever. Forsake not the works of thine own hands.

Dominus retribuet pro me: Domine misericordia tua in sæculum: opera manuum tuarum ne despicias.
