138:1 For David himself. I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: for thou hast heard the words of my mouth. I will sing praise to thee in the sight of the angels:

138:1 ipsi David confitebor tibi Domine in toto corde meo quoniam audisti verba oris mei in conspectu angelorum psallam tibi

138:2 I will worship towards thy holy temple, and I will give glory to thy name. For thy mercy, and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy holy name above all.

138:2 adorabo ad templum sanctum tuum et confitebor nomini tuo super misericordia tua et veritate tua quoniam magnificasti super omne nomen sanctum tuum

138:3 In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me: thou shalt multiply strength in my soul.

138:3 in quacumque die invocavero te exaudi me multiplicabis me in anima mea virtute

138:4 May all the kings of the earth give glory to thee: for they have heard all the words of thy mouth.

138:4 confiteantur tibi Domine omnes reges terrae quia audierunt omnia verba oris tui

138:5 And let them sing in the ways of the Lord: for great is the glory of the Lord.

138:5 et cantent in viis Domini quoniam magna gloria Domini

138:6 For the Lord is high, and looketh on the low: and the high he knoweth afar off.

138:6 quoniam excelsus Dominus et humilia respicit et alta a longe cognoscit

138:7 If I shall walk in the midst of tribulation, thou wilt quicken me: and thou hast stretched forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies: and thy right hand hath saved me.

138:7 si ambulavero in medio tribulationis vivificabis me super iram inimicorum meorum extendisti manum tuam et salvum me fecit dextera tua

138:8 The Lord will repay for me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: O despise not the works of thy hands.

138:8 Dominus retribuet propter me Domine misericordia tua in saeculum opera manuum tuarum ne dispicias
