Psalm 137
{137:1} By the rivers of Bavel, there we sat down.
Yes, we wept, when we remembered Tziyon.
{137:2} On the willows in the midst of it,
We hung up our harps.
{137:3} For there, those who led us captive asked us for songs.
Those who tormented us demanded songs of joy:
"Sing us one of the songs of Tziyon!"
{137:4} How can we sing the LORD's song in a foreign land?
{137:5} If I forget you, Yerushalayim,
Let my right hand forget its skill.
{137:6} Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don't
remember you;
If I don't prefer Yerushalayim above my chief joy.
{137:7} Remember, LORD, against the children of Edom,
The day of Yerushalayim;
Who said, "Raze it!
Raze it even to its foundation!"
{137:8} Daughter of Bavel, doomed to destruction,
He will be happy who rewards you,
As you have served us.
{137:9} Happy shall he be,
Who takes and dashes your little ones against the rock.
Psalm 138
By David.
{138:1} I will give you thanks with my whole heart.
Before the gods, I will sing praises to you.
{138:2} I will bow down toward your holy temple,
And give thanks to your Name for your lovingkindness and for your
truth;
For you have exalted your Name and your Word above all.
{138:3} In the day that I called, you answered me.
You encouraged me with strength in my soul.
{138:4} All the kings of the [1>]eretz[<1] will give you thanks, LORD,
For they have heard the words of your mouth.
{138:5} Yes, they will sing of the ways of the LORD;
For great is the LORD's glory.
{138:6} For though the LORD is high, yet he looks after the lowly;
But the proud, he knows from afar.
{138:7} Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me.
You will stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies.
Your right hand will save me.
{138:8} The LORD will fulfill that which concerns me;
Your lovingkindness, LORD, endures forever.
Don't forsake the works of your own hands.
