Psalms 138

1 A Psalm for David, of Aggaeus and Zacharias. I will give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; and I will sing psalms to you before the angels; for you have heard all the words of my mouth.

Ipsi David. Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo, quoniam audisti verba oris mei. In conspectu angelorum psallam tibi;

2 I will worship toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your name, on account of your mercy and your truth; for you have magnified your holy name above every thing.

adorabo ad templum sanctum tuum, et confitebor nomini tuo: super misericordia tua et veritate tua; quoniam magnificasti super omne, nomen sanctum tuum.

3 In whatever day I shall call upon you, hear me speedily; you shall abundantly provide me with your power in my soul.

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

4 Let all the kings of the earth, o Lord, give thanks to you; for they have heard all the words of your mouth.

Confiteantur tibi, Domine, omnes reges terræ, 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 [yet] regards the lowly; and he knows high things from afar off.

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

7 Though I should walk in the midst of affliction, you will quicken me; you have stretched forth your hands against the wrath of mine enemies, and your right hand has saved me.

Si ambulavero in medio tribulationis, vivificabis me; et super iram inimicorum meorum extendisti manum tuam, et salvum me fecit dextera tua.

8 O Lord, you shall recompense [them] on my behalf: your mercy, O Lord, [endures] for ever: overlook not the works of your hands.

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