138 - Confitebor tibi

1   I will give thanks to you, O Lord, with my whole heart; 🞙
    even before the gods will I sing praises to you.

2   I will worship toward your holy temple and praise your Name, because of your loving-kindness and truth, 🞙
    for you have magnified your Name and your word above all things.

3   When I called upon you, you heard me 🞙
    and gave me increase of strength.

4   All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O Lord, 🞙
    for they have heard the words of your mouth.

5   They shall sing of the ways of the Lord, 🞙
    that great is the glory of the Lord.

6   For though the Lord be high, yet he has respect for the lowly; 🞙
    as for the proud, he beholds them from afar.

7   Though I walk in the midst of trouble, yet shall you refresh me; 🞙
    you shall stretch forth your hand upon the furiousness of my enemies, and your right hand shall save me.

8   The Lord shall make good his loving-kindness toward me; 🞙
    your mercy, O Lord, endures for ever; despise not the works of your own hands.
