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 thee thanks with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praises unto 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 give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

3 In quacumque die invocavero te, exaudi me: multiplicabis in anima mea virtutem.

In the day that I called thou answeredst me, thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.

4 Confiteantur tibi Domine omnes reges terræ: quia audierunt omnia verba oris tui:

All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O LORD, for they have heard the words of thy mouth.

5 Et cantent in viis Domini: quoniam magna est 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.

For though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the haughty he knoweth from afar.

7 Si ambulavero in medio tribulationis, vivificabis me: et super iram inimicorum meorum extendisti manum tuam, et salvum me fecit dextera tua.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me; thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

8 Dominus retribuet pro me: Domine misericordia tua in sæculum: opera manuum tuarum ne despicias.

The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, [endureth] for ever; forsake not the works of thine own hands.
