Psalm 138

In order to distinguish it from the two others Confitebor psalms, it is sometimes referred to as "Confitebor angelorum". The psalm is a hymn psalm. In the slightly different numbering system used in the Greek Septuagint version of the Bible and in the Latin Vulgate, this psalm is Psalm 137. The psalm is sometimes used in Catholic liturgy. It has been set to music by composers including Jan Dismas Zelenka and Michel Richard Delalande]. Psalm 138 is the 138th psalm from the Book of Psalms, which is the first book of the Ketuvim ("Writings") in the Hebrew Bible, and is also a book of the Christian Old Testament. It is part of the final Davidic collection of psalms, comprising Psalms 138 through 145, which are specifically attributed to David in their opening verses. However, Dunn and Rogerson assert that the psalm was written as an expression of thankfulness after the return from exile in Babylon.
