Psalmorum 138

1 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; before the gods will I sing psalms of 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 the temple of thy holiness, and celebrate thy name for thy loving-kindness 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 when I called thou answeredst me; thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.

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

All the kings of the earth shall celebrate thee, Jehovah, when they have heard the words of thy mouth;

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

And they shall sing in the ways of Jehovah, for great is the glory of Jehovah.

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

For Jehovah is high; but he looketh upon the lowly, and the proud he knoweth afar off.

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 wilt revive me: thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the anger of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

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

Jehovah will perfect what concerneth me: thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, [endureth] for ever; forsake not the works of thine own hands.
