Psalmorum 138

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

Of David himself. O Lord, I will confess to you with my whole heart, for you have heard the words of my mouth. I will sing psalms to you in the sight of the Angels.

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 adore before your holy temple, and I will confess your name: it is above your mercy and your truth. For you have magnified your holy name above all.

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

On whatever day that I will call upon you: hear me. You will multiply virtue in my soul.

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

May all the kings of the earth confess to you, O Lord. For they have heard all the words of your mouth.

5 et cantent in viis Domini quoniam magna gloria Domini

And let them sing in accordance with the ways of the Lord. For great is the glory of the Lord.

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

For the Lord is exalted, and he looks with favor on the humble. But the lofty he knows from a distance.

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

If I wander into the midst of tribulation, you will revive me. For you extended your hand against the wrath of my enemies. And your right hand has accomplished my salvation.

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

The Lord will provide retribution on my behalf. O Lord, your mercy is forever. Do not disdain the works of your hands.
