Psalm 137

1 By the rivers of Babylon,

Longing for Zion in a Foreign LandThere we sat down, yea, we wept When we remembered Zion.

2 We hung our harps Upon the willows in the midst of it.3 For there those who carried us away captive asked of us a song, And those who plundered us requested mirth, Saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion!4 How shall we sing the Lords song In a foreign land?5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, Let my right hand forget its skill! 6 If I do not remember you, Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth If I do not exalt Jerusalem Above my chief joy.7 Remember, O Lord, against the sons of Edom The day of Jerusalem, Who said, Raze it, raze it, To its very foundation!8 O daughter of Babylon, who are to be destroyed, Happy the one who repays you as you have served us!9 Happy the one who takes and dashes Your little ones against the rock!

Psalm 138

1 I will praise You with my whole heart; Before the gods I will sing praises to You.

The Lords Goodness to the FaithfulA Psalm Of David.

2 I will worship toward Your holy temple, And praise Your name For Your lovingkindness and Your truth; For You have magnified Your word above all Your name.3 In the day when I cried out, You answered me, And made me bold with strength in my soul.4 All the kings of the earth shall praise You, O Lord, When they hear the words of Your mouth.5 Yes, they shall sing of the ways of the Lord, For great is the glory of the Lord.6 Though the Lord is on high, Yet He regards the lowly; But the proud He knows from afar.7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch out Your hand Against the wrath of my enemies, And Your right hand will save me.8 The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.

Psalm 139

1 O Lord, You have searched me and known me.

Gods Perfect Knowledge of ManFor the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

2 You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off.3 You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways.4 For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.5 You have hedged me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me.6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it.7 Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,10 Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me.11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall fall on me, Even the night shall be light about me;12 Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You. 13 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mothers womb.14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You.19 Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God! Depart from me, therefore, you bloodthirsty men.20 For they speak against You wickedly; Your enemies take Your name in vain.21 Do I not hate them, O Lord, who hate You? And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?22 I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them my enemies.23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties;24 And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.
