Psalmorum 138

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

Of David. I give You thanks with all my heart; before the gods I sing Your praises.

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

I bow down toward Your holy temple and give thanks to Your name for Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness; You have exalted Your name and Your word above all else.

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

On the day I called, You answered me; You emboldened me and strengthened my soul.

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

All the kings of the earth will give You thanks, O LORD, when they hear the words of Your mouth.

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

They will sing of the ways of the LORD, for the glory of the LORD is great.

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

Though the LORD is on high, He attends to 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.

If I walk in the midst of trouble, You preserve me from the anger of my foes; You extend Your hand, and Your right hand saves me.

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

The LORD will fulfill His purpose for me. O LORD, Your loving devotion endures forever— do not abandon the works of Your hands.
