< Psalmorum 138 >
1 ipsi David confitebor tibi Domine in toto corde meo quoniam audisti verba oris mei in conspectu angelorum psallam tibi
A Psalm for David, of Aggaeus and Zacharias. I will give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; and I will sing psalms to you before the angels; for you have heard all the words of my mouth.
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 your holy temple, and give thanks to your name, on account of your mercy and your truth; for you have magnified your holy name above every thing.
3 in quacumque die invocavero te exaudi me multiplicabis me in anima mea virtute
In whatever day I shall call upon you, hear me speedily; you shall abundantly provide me with your power in my soul.
4 confiteantur tibi Domine omnes reges terrae quia audierunt omnia verba oris tui
Let all the kings of the earth, o Lord, give thanks to you; 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 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 high, and [yet] regards the lowly; and he knows high things from afar off.
7 si ambulavero in medio tribulationis vivificabis me super iram inimicorum meorum extendisti manum tuam et salvum me fecit dextera tua
Though I should walk in the midst of affliction, you will quicken me; you have stretched forth your hands against the wrath of mine enemies, and your right hand has saved me.
8 Dominus retribuet propter me Domine misericordia tua in saeculum opera manuum tuarum ne dispicias
O Lord, you shall recompense [them] on my behalf: your mercy, O Lord, [endures] for ever: overlook not the works of your hands.
