< Psalmorum 138 >
1 ipsi David confitebor tibi Domine in toto corde meo quoniam audisti verba oris mei in conspectu angelorum psallam tibi
“A psalm of David.” I will praise thee with my whole heart; Before the gods will I sing praise to thee;
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 praise thy name for thy goodness and thy truth; For thy promise thou hast magnified above all thy name!
3 in quacumque die invocavero te exaudi me multiplicabis me in anima mea virtute
In the day when I called, thou didst hear me; Thou didst strengthen me, and encourage my soul.
4 confiteantur tibi Domine omnes reges terrae quia audierunt omnia verba oris tui
All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD! When they hear the promises of thy mouth!
5 et cantent in viis Domini quoniam magna gloria Domini
Yea, they shall sing of 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
The LORD is high, yet he looketh upon the humble, And the proud doth he know 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 through the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me; Thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies; Thou wilt save me by thy right hand!
8 Dominus retribuet propter me Domine misericordia tua in saeculum opera manuum tuarum ne dispicias
The LORD will perform all things for me; Thy goodness, O LORD! endureth ever: Forsake not the works of thine hands!
