Psalmorum 138

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

Of David himself. O Lord, I will confess to you with my whole heart, for you have heard the words of my mouth. I will sing psalms to you in the sight of the Angels.

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 adore before your holy temple, and I will confess your name: it is above your mercy and your truth. For you have magnified your holy name above all.

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

On whatever day that I will call upon you: hear me. You will multiply virtue in my soul.

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

May all the kings of the earth confess to you, O Lord. For they have heard all the words of your mouth.

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

And let them sing in accordance with 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 exalted, and he looks with favor on the humble. But the lofty he knows from a distance.

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

If I wander into the midst of tribulation, you will revive me. For you extended your hand against the wrath of my enemies. And your right hand has accomplished my salvation.

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

The Lord will provide retribution on my behalf. O Lord, your mercy is forever. Do not disdain the works of your hands.
