< Psalmorum 138 >
1 ipsi David confitebor tibi Domine in toto corde meo quoniam audisti verba oris mei in conspectu angelorum psallam tibi
I will give thee thanks with my whole heart. I will sing praises to thee 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 will worship toward thy holy temple, and give thanks to thy name for thy loving kindness and for thy truth. For thou have magnified thy word above all thy name.
3 in quacumque die invocavero te exaudi me multiplicabis me in anima mea virtute
Thou answered me in the day that I called. Thou encouraged 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 give thee thanks, O Jehovah, for they have heard the words of thy mouth.
5 et cantent in viis Domini quoniam magna gloria Domini
Yea, they shall sing of the ways of Jehovah, for great is the glory of Jehovah.
6 quoniam excelsus Dominus et humilia respicit et alta a longe cognoscit
For though Jehovah is high, yet he has respect to the lowly. But he knows the haughty from afar.
7 si ambulavero in medio tribulationis vivificabis me super iram inimicorum meorum extendisti manum tuam et salvum me fecit dextera tua
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou will revive me. Thou will stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies, and thy right hand will save me.
8 Dominus retribuet propter me Domine misericordia tua in saeculum opera manuum tuarum ne dispicias
Jehovah will perfect that which concerns me. Thy loving kindness, O Jehovah, is forever. Forsake not the works of thine own hands.
