§ The Book of Psalms 137

Liber Psalmorum · Parallel

1 I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: for thou hast heard the words of my mouth.

Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo, quoniam audisti verba oris mei. In conspectu angelorum psallam tibi;

2 I will sing praise to thee in the sight of the angels: 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.

adorabo ad templum sanctum tuum, et confitebor nomini tuo: super misericordia tua et veritate tua; quoniam magnificasti super omne, nomen sanctum tuum.

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

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

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

Confiteantur tibi, Domine, omnes reges terræ, quia audierunt omnia verba oris tui.

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

Et cantent in viis Domini, quoniam magna est gloria Domini;

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

quoniam excelsus Dominus, et humilia respicit, et alta a longe cognoscit.

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.

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

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

Dominus retribuet pro me. Domine, misericordia tua in sæculum; opera manuum tuarum ne despicias.
