< Psalmorum 138 >
1 David. Confitebor tibi Domine in toto corde meo: quoniam audisti verba oris mei. In conspectu angelorum psallam tibi:
BY DAVID. I confess You with all my heart, I praise You before the gods.
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 myself toward Your holy temple, And I confess Your Name, For Your kindness, and for Your truth, For You have made Your saying great above all Your Name.
3 In quacumque die invocavero te, exaudi me: multiplicabis in anima mea virtutem.
In the day I called, when You answer me, You strengthen me in my soul [with] strength.
4 Confiteantur tibi Domine omnes reges terrae: quia audierunt omnia verba oris tui:
O YHWH, all kings of earth confess You, When they have heard the sayings of Your mouth.
5 Et cantent in viis Domini: quoniam magna est gloria Domini.
And they sing in the ways of YHWH, For the glory of YHWH [is] great.
6 Quoniam excelsus Dominus, et humilia respicit: et alta a longe cognoscit.
For YHWH [is] high, and He sees the lowly, And He knows the haughty 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 distress You quicken me, You send forth Your hand against the anger of my enemies, And Your right hand saves me.
8 Dominus retribuet pro me: Domine misericordia tua in saeculum: opera manuum tuarum ne despicias.
YHWH perfects for me, O YHWH, Your kindness [is] for all time, Do not let the works of Your hands fall!
