PSALM CXXXVII. 1 BY the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down; Yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. 2 We hung our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. 3 For there those that carried us away captive asked of us a song, And those that wasted us asked of us gladness, saying, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion." 4 How shall we sing Jehovah's song on strange ground? 5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget her skill; 6 If I remember not thee, may my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; " 7 a If I prefer not Jerusalem above my highest gladness. Remember, O Jehovah, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem, Who said, "Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof." O daughter of Babylon, that art to be destroyed, Blessed shall he be, that rendereth unto thee, that which thou didst bring upon us. 9 Blessed shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy babes against the rock. a Ezek. iii. 26. PSALM CXXXVIII. By David.. 1 I WILL give thee thanks with my whole heart; Before the angels will I sing praises to thee. 2 I will worship in thy holy temple, And give thanks unto thy name, for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth; For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. 3 In the day that I called, thou didst answer 4 me, And strengthen me with strength in my soul. All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O Jehovah, When they hear the words of thy mouth. 5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of Jehovah ; For great is the glory of Jehovah. 6 Though Jehovah is exalted, yet looketh he upon the lowly; But the proud he knoweth afar off. a Ps. viii. 5; xcvii. 7. b Ps. v. 7. |
