< Psalms 138 >
1 [A Psalm] of David. I will give thee thanks with my whole heart; before the gods will I sing psalms of thee.
Ipsi David. [Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo, quoniam audisti verba oris mei. In conspectu angelorum psallam tibi;
2 I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness, and celebrate thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth; for thou hast 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 In the day when I called thou answeredst me; thou didst encourage 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 celebrate thee, Jehovah, when they have heard the words of thy mouth;
Confiteantur tibi, Domine, omnes reges terræ, quia audierunt omnia verba oris tui.
5 And they shall sing in the ways of Jehovah, for great is the glory of Jehovah.
Et cantent in viis Domini, quoniam magna est gloria Domini;
6 For Jehovah is high; but he looketh upon the lowly, and the proud he knoweth afar off.
quoniam excelsus Dominus, et humilia respicit, et alta a longe cognoscit.
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the anger of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall 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 what concerneth me: thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, [endureth] for ever; forsake not the works of thine own hands.
Dominus retribuet pro me. Domine, misericordia tua in sæculum; opera manuum tuarum ne despicias.]
