< Psalms 138 >
1 BY DAVID. I confess You with all my heart, I praise You before the gods.
Ipsi David. Confitebor tibi Domine in toto corde meo: quoniam audisti verba oris mei. In conspectu angelorum psallam tibi:
2 I bow myself toward Your holy temple, And I confess Your Name, For Your kindness, and for Your truth, For You have made Your saying great above all Your 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 I called, when You answer me, You strengthen me in my soul [with] strength.
In quacumque die invocavero te, exaudi me: multiplicabis in anima mea virtutem.
4 O YHWH, all kings of earth confess You, When they have heard the sayings of Your mouth.
Confiteantur tibi Domine omnes reges terræ: quia audierunt omnia verba oris tui:
5 And they sing in the ways of YHWH, For the glory of YHWH [is] great.
Et cantent in viis Domini: quoniam magna est gloria Domini.
6 For YHWH [is] high, and He sees the lowly, And He knows the haughty from afar.
Quoniam excelsus Dominus, et humilia respicit: et alta a longe cognoscit.
7 If I walk in the midst of distress You quicken me, You send forth Your hand against the anger of my enemies, And Your right hand saves me.
Si ambulavero in medio tribulationis, vivificabis me: et super iram inimicorum meorum extendisti manum tuam, et salvum me fecit dextera tua.
8 YHWH perfects for me, O YHWH, Your kindness [is] for all time, Do not let the works of Your hands fall!
Dominus retribuet pro me: Domine misericordia tua in sæculum: opera manuum tuarum ne despicias.
