Psalmorum 138

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

[A Psalm] of David. I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.

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

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

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

In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, [and] strengthenedst me [with] strength in my soul.

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

All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.

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

Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great [is] the glory of the LORD.

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

Though the LORD [be] high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

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

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.

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

The LORD will perfect [that which] concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, [endureth] for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
