< Psalmorum 138 >
1 Ipsi David. Confitebor tibi Domine in toto corde meo: quoniam audisti verba oris mei. In conspectu angelorum psallam tibi:
A Psalm for David, of Aggaeus and Zacharias. I will give thee thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; and I will sing psalms to thee before the angels; for thou hast heard all the words of my mouth.
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 give thanks to thy name, on account of thy mercy and thy truth; for thou hast magnified thy holy name above every thing.
3 In quacumque die invocavero te, exaudi me: multiplicabis in anima mea virtutem.
In whatsoever day I shall call upon thee, hear me speedily; thou shalt abundantly provide me with thy power in my soul.
4 Confiteantur tibi Domine omnes reges terræ: quia audierunt omnia verba oris tui:
Let all the kings of the earth, o Lord, give thanks unto thee; for they have heard all the words of thy mouth.
5 Et cantent in viis Domini: quoniam magna est gloria Domini.
And let them 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.
For the Lord is high, and [yet] regards the lowly; and he knows high things from 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 should walk in the midst of affliction, thou wilt quicken me; thou hast stretched forth thine hands against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand has saved me.
8 Dominus retribuet pro me: Domine misericordia tua in sæculum: opera manuum tuarum ne despicias.
O Lord, thou shalt recompense [them] on my behalf: thy mercy, O Lord, [endures] for ever: overlook not the works of thine hands.
