Psalmi 138

NOVA VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
1 David. Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo, quoniam audisti verba oris mei. In conspectu angelorum psallam tibi,	1 [Of David] I thank you, Yahweh, with all my heart, for you have listened to the cry I uttered. In thepresence of angels I sing to you,
2 adorabo ad templum sanctum tuum; et confitebor nomini tuo propter misericordiam tuam et veritatem tuam, quoniam magnificasti super omne nomen eloquium tuum.	2 I bow down before your holy Temple. I praise your name for your faithful love and your constancy;your promises surpass even your fame.
3 In quacumque die invocavero te, exaudi me; multiplicabis in anima mea virtutem.	3 You heard me on the day when I cal ed, and you gave new strength to my heart.
4 Confitebuntur tibi, Domine, omnes reges terrae, quia audierunt eloquia oris tui.	4 Al the kings of the earth give thanks to you, Yahweh, when they hear the promises you make;
5 Et cantabunt vias Domini, quoniam magna est gloria Domini;	5 they sing of Yahweh's ways, 'Great is the glory of Yahweh!'
6 quoniam excelsus Dominus et humilem respicit et superbum a longe cognoscit.	6 Sublime as he is, Yahweh looks on the humble, the proud he picks out from afar.
7 Si ambulavero in medio tribulationis, vivificabis me; et contra iram inimicorum meorum extendes manum tuam, et salvum me faciet dextera tua.	7 Though I live surrounded by trouble you give me life -- to my enemies' fury! You stretch out your righthand and save me,
8 Dominus perficiet pro me; Domine, misericordia tua in saeculum: opera manuum tuarum ne despicias.	8 Yahweh will do al things for me. Yahweh, your faithful love endures for ever, do not abandon what you have made.
