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 me in anima mea virtute

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 terrae 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 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 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 propter me Domine misericordia tua in saeculum opera manuum tuarum ne dispicias
