< Psalmorum 138 >

1 Ipsi David. Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo, quoniam audisti verba oris mei. In conspectu angelorum psallam tibi;
[By David.] I will give you thanks, LORD, with my whole heart. Before the gods I will sing praises to you.
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 your holy temple, and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your word above all.
3 In quacumque die invocavero te, exaudi me; multiplicabis in anima mea virtutem.
In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged 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 will give you thanks, LORD, for they have heard the words of your mouth.
5 Et cantent in viis Domini, quoniam magna est gloria Domini;
Yes, they will sing of the ways of the LORD; for great is the LORD's glory.
6 quoniam excelsus Dominus, et humilia respicit, et alta a longe cognoscit.
For though the LORD is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but the proud, he knows 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, you will revive me. You will stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.
8 Dominus retribuet pro me. Domine, misericordia tua in sæculum; opera manuum tuarum ne despicias.
The LORD will fulfill that which concerns me; your loving kindness, LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the works of your own hands.
