< 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 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 praise 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 me in anima mea virtute
In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, [and] strengthenedst me [with] strength in 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 words of thy mouth.
5 et cantent in viis Domini quoniam magna gloria Domini
Yea, they shall sing in 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
Though the LORD [be] high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar 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 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 propter me Domine misericordia tua in saeculum opera manuum tuarum ne dispicias
The LORD will perfect [that which] concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, [endureth] for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
