Psalms 137

1By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down and wept, When we remembered Zion.

2Upon the willows in the midst of it We hung our harps.

3For there our captors demanded of us songs, And our tormentors, jubilation, saying, “Sing for us one of the songs of Zion!”

4How can we sing the LORD’S song In a foreign land?

5If I forget you, Jerusalem, May my right hand forget its skill.

6May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth If I do not remember you, If I do not exalt Jerusalem Above my chief joy.

7Remember, LORD, against the sons of Edom The day of Jerusalem, Those who said, “Lay it bare, lay it bare To its foundation!”

8Daughter of Babylon, you devastated one, Blessed will be one who repays you With the retribution with which you have repaid us.

9Blessed will be one who seizes and dashes your children Against the rock.

Psalms 138

1I will give You thanks with all my heart; I will sing Your praises before the gods.

2I will bow down toward Your holy temple And give thanks to Your name for Your mercy and Your truth; For You have made Your word great according to all Your name.

3On the day I called, You answered me; You made me bold with strength in my soul.

4All the kings of the earth will give thanks to You, LORD, When they have heard the words of Your mouth.

5And they will sing of the ways of the LORD, For great is the glory of the LORD.

6For the LORD is exalted, Yet He looks after the lowly, But He knows the haughty from afar.

7Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will reach out with Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, And Your right hand will save me.

8The LORD will accomplish what concerns me; Your faithfulness, LORD, is everlasting; Do not abandon the works of Your hands.
