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 give Thee thanks with my whole heart, in the presence of the mighty will I sing praises 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 bow down toward Thy holy temple, and give thanks unto Thy name for Thy mercy 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 that I called, Thou didst answer me; Thou didst encourage me in my soul with strength.

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

All the kings of the earth shall give Thee thanks, O LORD, for they have heard the words of Thy mouth.

5 Et cantent in viis Domini: quoniam magna est gloria Domini.

Yea, they shall sing of 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 though the LORD be high, yet regardeth He the lowly, and the haughty He knoweth from afar.

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 quickenest me; Thou stretchest forth Thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and Thy right hand doth save me.

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

The LORD will accomplish that which concerneth me; Thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever; forsake not the work of Thine own hands.
