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.
