< Psalms 138 >
1 [A Psalm] of David. I will give thee thanks with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praises 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 give thanks unto 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 that I called thou answeredst me, thou didst encourage 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 give thee thanks, O LORD, for they have heard the words of thy mouth.
Confiteantur tibi Domine omnes reges terræ: quia audierunt omnia verba oris tui:
5 Yea, they shall sing of 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 though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the haughty he knoweth from afar.
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 The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, [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.
