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 give you thanks with my whole heart; before the gods I will sing praises to you.

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 bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your covenant faithfulness and for your trustworthiness. You have made your word and your name more important than anything else.

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

On the day that I called you, you answered me; you made me bold 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, Yahweh, for they will hear the words from your mouth.

5 et cantent in viis Domini quoniam magna gloria Domini

Indeed, they will sing of the deeds of Yahweh, for great is the glory of Yahweh.

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

For though Yahweh is high, yet he cares for the lowly, but the proud he knows from far off.

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

Though I walk in the middle of danger, you will preserve my life; you will reach out with your hand against the anger of my enemies, and your right hand will save me.

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

Yahweh is with me to the end; your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, endures forever. Do not forsake the ones whom your hands have made.
