PSALM 138

 Of David. 

1 

I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart;
    before the ‘gods’ I will sing your praise.

2 

I will bow down towards your holy temple
    and will praise your name
    for your unfailing love and your faithfulness,
for you have so exalted your solemn decree
    that it surpasses your fame.

3 

When I called, you answered me;
    you greatly emboldened me.

4 

May all the kings of the earth praise you, Lord,
    when they hear what you have decreed.

5 

May they sing of the ways of the Lord,
    for the glory of the Lord is great.

6 

Though the Lord is exalted, he looks kindly on the lowly;
    though lofty, he sees them from afar.

7 

Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
    you preserve my life.
You stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes;
    with your right hand you save me.

8 

The Lord will vindicate me;
    your love, Lord, endures for ever –
    do not abandon the works of your hands.

PSALM 137

 

1 

By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept
    when we remembered Zion.

2 

There on the poplars
    we hung our harps,

3 

for there our captors asked us for songs,
    our tormentors demanded songs of joy;
    they said, ‘Sing us one of the songs of Zion!’

4 

How can we sing the songs of the Lord
    while in a foreign land?

5 

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

6 

May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
    if I do not remember you,
if I do not consider Jerusalem
    my highest joy.

7 

Remember, Lord, what the Edomites did
    on the day Jerusalem fell.
‘Tear it down,’ they cried,
    ‘tear it down to its foundations!’

8 

Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction,
    happy is the one who repays you
    according to what you have done to us.

9 

Happy is the one who seizes your infants
    and dashes them against the rocks.
