Psalms 138

1 A Psalm of David. I will give Thee thanks with my whole heart, in the presence of the mighty will I sing praises unto 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 Thy holy temple, and give thanks unto Thy name for Thy mercy 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 that I called, Thou didst answer me; Thou didst encourage me in my soul with strength.

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

4 All the kings of the earth shall give Thee thanks, O LORD, for they have heard the words of Thy mouth.

Confiteantur tibi, Domine, omnes reges terræ, quia audierunt omnia verba oris tui.

5 Yea, they shall sing of 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 though the LORD be high, yet regardeth He the lowly, and the haughty He knoweth from afar.

quoniam excelsus Dominus, et humilia respicit, et alta a longe cognoscit.

7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, Thou quickenest me; Thou stretchest forth Thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and Thy right hand doth save 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 accomplish that which concerneth me; Thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever; forsake not the work of Thine own hands.

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