Psalmorum 138

1 ipsi David confitebor tibi Domine in toto corde meo quoniam audisti verba oris mei in conspectu angelorum psallam tibi

Of David. I give You thanks with all my heart; before the gods I sing Your praises.

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 down toward Your holy temple and give thanks to Your name for Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness; You have exalted Your name and Your word above all else.

3 in quacumque die invocavero te exaudi me multiplicabis me in anima mea virtute

On the day I called, You answered me; You emboldened me and strengthened my soul.

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

All the kings of the earth will give You thanks, O LORD, when they hear the words of Your mouth.

5 et cantent in viis Domini quoniam magna gloria Domini

They will sing of the ways of the LORD, for the glory of the LORD is great.

6 quoniam excelsus Dominus et humilia respicit et alta a longe cognoscit

Though the LORD is on high, He attends to the lowly; but the proud He knows from afar.

7 si ambulavero in medio tribulationis vivificabis me super iram inimicorum meorum extendisti manum tuam et salvum me fecit dextera tua

If I walk in the midst of trouble, You preserve me from the anger of my foes; You extend Your hand, and Your right hand saves me.

8 Dominus retribuet propter me Domine misericordia tua in saeculum opera manuum tuarum ne dispicias

The LORD will fulfill His purpose for me. O LORD, Your loving devotion endures forever— do not abandon the works of Your hands.
