Psalms 137
1 A Psalm for David, of Haggai and
Zacharias.
I will give thee thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; and I will sing psalms
to thee before the angels; for thou hast heard all the words of my mouth.
2 I will worship toward thy holy
temple, and give thanks to thy name, on account of thy mercy and thy truth;
for thou hast magnified thy holy name above every thing.
3 In whatsoever day I shall call upon
thee, hear me speedily; thou shalt abundantly provide me with thy power in my
soul. 4 Let all the kings of the
earth, O Lord, give thanks unto thee; for they have heard all the words of thy
mouth. 5 And let them sing in the ways
of the Lord; for great is the glory of the Lord.
6 For the Lord is high, and
yet regards the lowly; and he knows high things from
afar off. 7 Though I should walk in
the midst of affliction, thou wilt quicken me; thou hast stretched forth thine
hands against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand has saved me.
8 O Lord, thou shalt recompense
them on my behalf: thy mercy, O Lord,
endures for ever: overlook not the works of thine
hands.
