< 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.
