Psalmorum 138

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

Of David. I will give you praise with all my heart: I will make melody to you before the gods.

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 give worship before your holy Temple, praising your name for your mercy and for your unchanging faith: for you have made your word greater than all your name.

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

When my cry came to your ears you gave me an answer, and made me great with strength in my soul.

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

All the kings of the earth will give you praise, O Lord, when the words of your mouth come to their ears.

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

They will make songs about 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 is high, he sees those who are low; and he has knowledge from far off of those who are lifted up.

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

Even when trouble is round me, you will give me life; your hand will be stretched out against the wrath of my haters, and your right hand will be my salvation.

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

The Lord will make all things complete for me: O Lord, your mercy is eternal; do not give up the works of your hands.
