Psalmus 138 [4]
138:1 Dómine, probásti me, et cognovísti me: * tu cognovísti sessiónem meam, et resurrectiónem meam.
138:3 Intellexísti cogitatiónes meas de longe: * sémitam meam, et funículum meum investigásti.
138:4 Et omnes vias meas prævidísti: * quia non est sermo in lingua mea.
138:5 Ecce, Dómine, tu cognovísti ómnia novíssima, et antíqua: * tu formásti me, et posuísti super me manum tuam.
138:6 Mirábilis facta est sciéntia tua ex me: * confortáta est, et non pótero ad eam.
138:7 Quo ibo a spíritu tuo? * et quo a fácie tua fúgiam?
138:8 Si ascéndero in cælum, tu illic es: * si descéndero in inférnum, ades.
138:9 Si súmpsero pennas meas dilúculo, * et habitávero in extrémis maris:
138:10 Étenim illuc manus tua dedúcet me: * et tenébit me déxtera tua.
138:11 Et dixi: Fórsitan ténebræ conculcábunt me: * et nox illuminátio mea in delíciis meis.
138:12 Quia ténebræ non obscurabúntur a te, et nox sicut dies illuminábitur: * sicut ténebræ eius, ita et lumen eius.
138:13 Quia tu possedísti renes meos: * suscepísti me de útero matris meæ.
138:14 Confitébor tibi quia terribíliter magnificátus es: * mirabília ópera tua, et ánima mea cognóscit nimis.
138:15 Non est occultátum os meum a te, quod fecísti in occúlto: * et substántia mea in inferióribus terræ.
138:16 Imperféctum meum vidérunt óculi tui, et in libro tuo omnes scribéntur: * dies formabúntur, et nemo in eis.
138:17 Mihi autem nimis honorificáti sunt amíci tui, Deus: * nimis confortátus est principátus eórum.
138:18 Dinumerábo eos, et super arénam multiplicabúntur: * exsurréxi, et adhuc sum tecum.
138:19 Si occíderis, Deus, peccatóres: * viri sánguinum, declináte a me:
138:20 Quia dícitis in cogitatióne: * Accípient in vanitáte civitátes tuas.
138:21 Nonne qui odérunt te, Dómine, óderam? * et super inimícos tuos tabescébam?
138:22 Perfécto ódio óderam illos: * et inimíci facti sunt mihi.
138:23 Proba me, Deus, et scito cor meum: * intérroga me, et cognósce sémitas meas.
138:24 Et vide, si via iniquitátis in me est: * et deduc me in via ætérna.

Ant. Thrice was I beaten with rods, * once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, for Christ's name's sake.
Psalm 138 [4]
138:1 Lord, thou hast proved me, and known me: * thou hast known my sitting down, and my rising up.
138:3 Thou hast understood my thoughts afar off: * my path and my life thou hast searched out.
138:4 And thou hast foreseen all my ways: * for there is no speech on my tongue.
138:5 Behold, O Lord, thou hast known all things, the last and those of old: * thou hast formed me, and hast laid thy hand upon me.
138:6 Thy knowledge is become wonderful to me: * it is high, and I cannot reach to it.
138:7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? * or whither shall I flee from thy face?
138:8 If I ascend into heaven, thou art there: * if I descend into hell, thou art present.
138:9 If I take my wings early in the morning, * and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea:
138:10 Even there also shall thy hand lead me: * and thy right hand shall hold me.
138:11 And I said: Perhaps darkness shall cover me: * and night shall be my light in my pleasures.
138:12 But darkness shall not be dark to thee, and night shall be light as the day: * the darkness thereof, and the light thereof are alike to thee.
138:13 For thou hast possessed my reins: * thou hast protected me from my mother’s womb.
138:14 I will praise thee, for thou art fearfully magnified: * wonderful are thy works, and my soul knoweth right well.
138:15 My bone is not hidden from thee, which thou hast made in secret: * and my substance in the lower parts of the earth.
138:16 Thy eyes did see my imperfect being, and in thy book all shall be written: * days shall be formed, and no one in them.
138:17 But to me thy friends, O God, are made exceedingly honourable: * their principality is exceedingly strengthened.
138:18 I will number them, and they shall be multiplied above the sand: * I rose up and am still with thee.
138:19 If thou wilt kill the wicked, O God: * ye men of blood, depart from me:
138:20 Because you say in thought: * They shall receive thy cities in vain.
138:21 Have I not hated them, O Lord, that hated thee: * and pined away because of thy enemies?
138:22 I have hated them with a perfect hatred: * and they are become enemies to me.
138:23 Prove me, O God, and know my heart: * examine me, and know my paths.
138:24 And see if there be in me the way of iniquity: * and lead me in the eternal way.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Ant. Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, for Christ's name's sake.
