< Psalms 138 >
1 I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods 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 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 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.
