Catholic Public Domain Version 2009

- Kapitel 138 -

I will thank you with all my heart

1
Of David himself. O Lord, I will confess to you with my whole heart, for you have heard the words of my mouth. I will sing psalms to you in the sight of the Angels.
2
I will adore before your holy temple, and I will confess your name: it is above your mercy and your truth. For you have magnified your holy name above all.
3
On whatever day that I will call upon you: hear me. You will multiply virtue in my soul.
4
May all the kings of the earth confess to you, O Lord. For they have heard all the words of your mouth.(a)
5
And let them sing in accordance with the ways of the Lord. For great is the glory of the Lord.
6
For the Lord is exalted, and he looks with favor on the humble. But the lofty he knows from a distance.
7
If I wander into the midst of tribulation, you will revive me. For you extended your hand against the wrath of my enemies. And your right hand has accomplished my salvation.
8
The Lord will provide retribution on my behalf. O Lord, your mercy is forever. Do not disdain the works of your hands.
