1 ipsi David confitebor tibi Domine in toto corde meo quoniam audisti verba oris mei in conspectu angelorum psallam tibi
BY DAVID. I confess You with all my heart, I praise You 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 bow myself toward Your holy temple, And I confess Your Name, For Your kindness, and for Your truth, For You have made Your saying great above all Your Name.
3 in quacumque die invocavero te exaudi me multiplicabis me in anima mea virtute
In the day I called, when You answer me, You strengthen me in my soul [with] strength.
4 confiteantur tibi Domine omnes reges terrae quia audierunt omnia verba oris tui
O YHWH, all kings of earth confess You, When they have heard the sayings of Your mouth.
5 et cantent in viis Domini quoniam magna gloria Domini
And they sing in the ways of YHWH, For the glory of YHWH [is] great.
6 quoniam excelsus Dominus et humilia respicit et alta a longe cognoscit
For YHWH [is] high, and He sees the lowly, And 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
If I walk in the midst of distress You quicken me, You send forth Your hand against the anger of my enemies, And Your right hand saves me.
8 Dominus retribuet propter me Domine misericordia tua in saeculum opera manuum tuarum ne dispicias
YHWH perfects for me, O YHWH, Your kindness [is] for all time, Do not let the works of Your hands fall!
