Psalms 138

1 By David. I confess Thee, with all my heart, Before the gods I do praise Thee.

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

2 I bow myself toward Thy holy temple, And I confess Thy name, For Thy kindness, and for Thy truth, For Thou hast made great Thy saying 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 I called, when Thou dost answer me, Thou dost strengthen me in my soul [with] strength.

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

4 O Jehovah, all kings of earth confess Thee, When they have heard the sayings of Thy mouth.

Confiteantur tibi, Domine, omnes reges terræ, quia audierunt omnia verba oris tui.

5 And they sing in the ways of Jehovah, For great [is] the honour of Jehovah.

Et cantent in viis Domini, quoniam magna est gloria Domini;

6 For high [is] Jehovah, and the lowly He seeth, And the haughty from afar He knoweth.

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

7 If I walk in the midst of distress Thou quickenest me, Against the anger of mine enemies Thou sendest forth Thy hand, And Thy right hand doth save me.

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

8 Jehovah doth perfect for me, O Jehovah, Thy kindness [is] to the age, The works of Thy hands let not fall!

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