< Psalms 138 >
1 I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the mighty will I sing praise unto thee.
Ipsi David. Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo, quoniam audisti verba oris mei. In conspectu angelorum psallam tibi;
2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified above all, thy name, thy word.
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 cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst 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 praise thee, O YHWH, when they hear the words of thy mouth.
Confiteantur tibi, Domine, omnes reges terræ, quia audierunt omnia verba oris tui.
5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of YHWH: for great is the glory of YHWH.
Et cantent in viis Domini, quoniam magna est gloria Domini;
6 Though YHWH be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but 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 shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath 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 YHWH will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O YHWH, 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.
