< Psalms 138 >
1 A Psalm for David, of Aggaeus and Zacharias. I will give thee thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; and I will sing psalms to thee before the angels; for thou hast heard all the words of my mouth.
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, on account of thy mercy and thy truth; for thou hast magnified thy holy name above every thing.
adorabo ad templum sanctum tuum et confitebor nomini tuo super misericordia tua et veritate tua quoniam magnificasti super omne nomen sanctum tuum
3 In whatsoever day I shall call upon thee, hear me speedily; thou shalt abundantly provide me with thy power in my soul.
in quacumque die invocavero te exaudi me multiplicabis me in anima mea virtute
4 Let all the kings of the earth, o Lord, give thanks unto thee; for they have heard all the words of thy mouth.
confiteantur tibi Domine omnes reges terrae quia audierunt omnia verba oris tui
5 And let them sing in the ways of the Lord; for great is the glory of the Lord.
et cantent in viis Domini quoniam magna gloria Domini
6 For the Lord is high, and [yet] regards the lowly; and he knows high things from afar off.
quoniam excelsus Dominus et humilia respicit et alta a longe cognoscit
7 Though I should walk in the midst of affliction, thou wilt quicken me; thou hast stretched forth thine hands against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand has saved me.
si ambulavero in medio tribulationis vivificabis me super iram inimicorum meorum extendisti manum tuam et salvum me fecit dextera tua
8 O Lord, thou shalt recompense [them] on my behalf: thy mercy, O Lord, [endures] for ever: overlook not the works of thine hands.
Dominus retribuet propter me Domine misericordia tua in saeculum opera manuum tuarum ne dispicias
