Psalmorum 138

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

By David. I confess Thee, with all my heart, Before the gods I do praise 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 bow myself toward Thy holy temple, And I confess Thy name, For Thy kindness, and for Thy truth, For Thou hast made great Thy saying above all Thy name.

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

In the day I called, when Thou dost answer me, Thou dost strengthen me in my soul [with] strength.

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

O Jehovah, all kings of earth confess Thee, When they have heard the sayings of Thy mouth.

5 et cantent in viis Domini quoniam magna gloria Domini

And they sing in the ways of Jehovah, For great [is] the honour of Jehovah.

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

For high [is] Jehovah, and the lowly He seeth, And the haughty from afar He knoweth.

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 Thou quickenest me, Against the anger of mine enemies Thou sendest forth Thy hand, And Thy right hand doth save me.

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

Jehovah doth perfect for me, O Jehovah, Thy kindness [is] to the age, The works of Thy hands let not fall!
