Psalms 138

1 A Psalm for David, of Aggaeus and Zacharias. I will give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; and I will sing psalms to you before the angels; for you have 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 towards your holy temple, and give thanks to your name, on account of your mercy and your truth; for you have magnified your 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 whatever day I shall call upon you, hear me speedily; you shall abundantly provide me with your power in my soul.

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

4 Let all the kings of the earth, o Lord, give thanks to you; for they have heard all the words of your mouth.

Confiteantur tibi Domine omnes reges terræ: 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 est 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, you will quicken me; you have stretched forth your hands against the wrath of mine enemies, and your right hand has saved me.

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

8 O Lord, you shall recompense [them] on my behalf: your mercy, O Lord, [endures] for ever: overlook not the works of your hands.

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