< Psalms 138 >
1 [By David.] I will give you thanks, LORD, with my whole heart. Before the gods I will sing praises to you.
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 your holy temple, and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your word above all.
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, you answered me. You encouraged 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 will give you thanks, LORD, for they have heard the words of your mouth.
Confiteantur tibi, Domine, omnes reges terræ, quia audierunt omnia verba oris tui.
5 Yes, they will sing of the ways of the LORD; for great is the LORD's glory.
Et cantent in viis Domini, quoniam magna est gloria Domini;
6 For though the LORD is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but the proud, he knows from afar.
quoniam excelsus Dominus, et humilia respicit, et alta a longe cognoscit.
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will 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 fulfill that which concerns me; your loving kindness, LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the works of your own hands.
Dominus retribuet pro me. Domine, misericordia tua in sæculum; opera manuum tuarum ne despicias.]
