< Psalms 138 >
1 I will praise thee, O lord, with my whole heart: for thou hast heard the words of my mouth. I will sing praise to thee in the sight of his angels:
David. Confitebor tibi Domine in toto corde meo: quoniam audisti verba oris mei. In conspectu angelorum psallam tibi:
2 I will worship towards thy holy temple, and I will give glory to thy name. For thy mercy, and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy holy name above all.
adorabo ad templum sanctum tuum, et confitebor nomini tuo. Super misericordia tua, et veritate tua: quoniam magnificasti super omne, nomen sanctum tuum.
3 In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me: thou shall multiply strength in my soul.
In quacumque die invocavero te, exaudi me: multiplicabis in anima mea virtutem.
4 May all the kings of the earth give glory to 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 est gloria Domini.
6 For the Lord is high, and looketh on the low: and the high he knoweth afar off.
Quoniam excelsus Dominus, et humilia respicit: et alta a longe cognoscit.
7 If I shall walk in the midst of tribulation, thou wilt quicken me: and thou hast stretched forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies: and thy right hand hath saved me.
Si ambulavero in medio tribulationis, vivificabis me: et super iram inimicorum meorum extendisti manum tuam, et salvum me fecit dextera tua.
8 The Lord will repay for me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: O despise not the work of thy hands.
Dominus retribuet pro me: Domine misericordia tua in saeculum: opera manuum tuarum ne despicias.
