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 Thee, with all my heart, Before the gods I do praise 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 bow myself toward Thy holy temple, And I confess Thy name, For Thy kindness, and for Thy truth, For Thou hast made great Thy saying above all Thy name.

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

In the day I called, when Thou dost answer me, Thou dost strengthen me in my soul [with] strength.

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

O Jehovah, all kings of earth confess Thee, When they have heard the sayings of Thy mouth.

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

And they sing in the ways of Jehovah, For great [is] the honour of Jehovah.

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

For high [is] Jehovah, and the lowly He seeth, And the haughty from afar He knoweth.

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 Thou quickenest me, Against the anger of mine enemies Thou sendest forth Thy hand, And Thy right hand doth save me.

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

Jehovah doth perfect for me, O Jehovah, Thy kindness [is] to the age, The works of Thy hands let not fall!
