119:1Blessed are they that are perfect in the way, Who walk in the law of Jehovah. 119:2Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, That seek him with the whole heart. 119:3Yea, they do no unrighteousness; They walk in his ways. 119:4Thou hast commanded [us] thy precepts, That we should observe them diligently. 119:5Oh that my ways were established To observe thy statutes! 119:6Then shall I not be put to shame, When I have respect unto all thy commandments. 119:7I will give thanks unto thee with uprightness of heart, When I learn thy righteous judgments. 119:8I will observe thy statutes: Oh forsake me not utterly. BETH. 119:9Wherewith shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed [thereto] according to thy word. 119:10With my whole heart have I sought thee: Oh let me not wander from thy commandments. 119:11Thy word have I laid up in my heart, That I might not sin against thee. 119:12Blessed art thou, O Jehovah: Teach me thy statutes. 119:13With my lips have I declared All the ordinances of thy mouth. 119:14I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, As much as in all riches. 119:15I will meditate on thy precepts, And have respect unto thy ways. 119:16I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word. GIMEL. 119:17Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live; So will I observe thy word. 119:18Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold Wondrous things out of thy law. 119:19I am a sojourner in the earth: Hide not thy commandments from me. 119:20My soul breaketh for the longing That it hath unto thine ordinances at all times. 119:21Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, That do wander from thy commandments. 119:22Take away from me reproach and contempt; For I have kept thy testimonies. 119:23Princes also sat and talked against me; [But] thy servant did meditate on thy statutes. 119:24Thy testimonies also are my delight [And] my counsellors. DALETH. 119:25My soul cleaveth unto the dust: Quicken thou me according to thy word. 119:26I declared my ways, and thou answeredst me: Teach me thy statutes. 119:27Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: So shall I meditate on thy wondrous works. 119:28My soul melteth for heaviness: Strengthen thou me according unto thy word. 119:29Remove from me the way of falsehood; And grant me thy law graciously. 119:30I have chosen the way of faithfulness: Thine ordinances have I set [before me]. 119:31I cleave unto thy testimonies: O Jehovah, put me not to shame. 119:32I will run the way of thy commandments, When thou shalt enlarge my heart. HE. 119:33Teach me, O Jehovah, the way of thy statutes; And I shall keep it unto the end. 119:34Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; Yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart. 119:35Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; For therein do I delight. 119:36Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, And not to covetousness. 119:37Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity, And quicken me in thy ways. 119:38Confirm unto thy servant thy word, Which [is in order] unto the fear of thee. 119:39Turn away my reproach whereof I am afraid; For thine ordinances are good. 119:40Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: Quicken me in thy righteousness. VAV. 119:41Let thy lovingkindnesses also come unto me, O Jehovah, Even thy salvation, according to thy word. 119:42So shall I have an answer for him that reproacheth me; For I trust in thy word. 119:43And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; For I have hoped in thine ordinances. 119:44So shall I observe thy law continually For ever and ever. 119:45And I shall walk at liberty; For I have sought thy precepts. 119:46I will also speak of thy testimonies before kings, And shall not be put to shame. 119:47And I will delight myself in thy commandments, Which I have loved. 119:48I will lift up my hands also unto thy commandments, which I have loved; And I will meditate on thy statutes. ZAYIN. 119:49Remember the word unto thy servant, Because thou hast made me to hope. 119:50This is my comfort in my affliction; For thy word hath quickened me. 119:51The proud have had me greatly in derision: [Yet] have I not swerved from thy law. 119:52I have remembered thine ordinances of old, O Jehovah, And have comforted myself. 119:53Hot indignation hath taken hold upon me, Because of the wicked that forsake thy law. 119:54Thy statutes have been my songs In the house of my pilgrimage. 119:55I have remembered thy name, O Jehovah, in the night, And have observed thy law. 119:56This I have had, Because I have kept thy precepts. HHETH. 119:57Jehovah is my portion: I have said that I would observe thy words. 119:58I entreated thy favor with my whole heart: Be merciful unto me according to thy word. 119:59I thought on my ways, And turned my feet unto thy testimonies. 119:60I made haste, and delayed not, To observe thy commandments. 119:61The cords of the wicked have wrapped me round; [But] I have not forgotten thy law. 119:62At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee Because of thy righteous ordinances. 119:63I am a companion of all them that fear thee, And of them that observe thy precepts. 119:64The earth, O Jehovah, is full of thy lovingkindness: Teach me thy statutes. TETH. 119:65Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Jehovah, according unto thy word. 119:66Teach me good judgment and knowledge; For I have believed in thy commandments. 119:67Before I was afflicted I went astray; But now I observe thy word. 119:68Thou art good, and doest good; Teach me thy statutes. 119:69The proud have forged a lie against me: With my whole heart will I keep thy precepts. 119:70Their heart is as fat as grease; But I delight in thy law. 119:71It is good for me that I have been afflicted; That I may learn thy statutes. 119:72The law of thy mouth is better unto me Than thousands of gold and silver. YODH. 119:73Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: Give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments. 119:74They that fear thee shall see me and be glad, Because I have hoped in thy word. 119:75I know, O Jehovah, that thy judgments are righteous, And that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me. 119:76Let, I pray thee, thy lovingkindness be for my comfort, According to thy word unto thy servant. 119:77Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live; For thy law is my delight. 119:78Let the proud be put to shame; For they have overthrown me wrongfully: [But] I will meditate on thy precepts. 119:79Let those that fear thee turn unto me; And they shall know thy testimonies. 119:80Let my heart be perfect in thy statutes, That I be not put to shame. KAPH. 119:81My soul fainteth for thy salvation; [But] I hope in thy word. 119:82Mine eyes fail for thy word, While I say, When wilt thou comfort me? 119:83For I am become like a wine-skin in the smoke; Yet do I not forget thy statutes. 119:84How many are the days of thy servant? When wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me? 119:85The proud have digged pits for me, Who are not according to thy law. 119:86All thy commandments are faithful: They persecute me wrongfully; help thou me. 119:87They had almost consumed me upon earth; But I forsook not thy precepts. LAMEDH. 119:88Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; So shall I observe the testimony of thy mouth. 119:89For ever, O Jehovah, Thy word is settled in heaven. 119:90Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: Thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. 119:91They abide this day according to thine ordinances; For all things are thy servants. 119:92Unless thy law had been my delight, I should then have perished in mine affliction. 119:93I will never forget thy precepts; For with them thou hast quickened me. 119:94I am thine, save me; For I have sought thy precepts. 119:95The wicked have waited for me, to destroy me; [But] I will consider thy testimonies. MEM. 119:96I have seen an end of all perfection; [But] thy commandment is exceeding broad. 119:97Oh how love I thy law! It is my meditation all the day. 119:98Thy commandments make me wiser than mine enemies; For they are ever with me. 119:99I have more understanding than all my teachers; For thy testimonies are my meditation. 119:100I understand more than the aged, Because I have kept thy precepts. 119:101I have refrained my feet from every evil way, That I might observe thy word. 119:102I have not turned aside from thine ordinances; For thou hast taught me. 119:103How sweet are thy words unto my taste! [Yea, sweeter] than honey to my mouth! 119:104Through thy precepts I get understanding: Therefore I hate every false way. NUN. 119:105Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, And light unto my path. 119:106I have sworn, and have confirmed it, That I will observe thy righteous ordinances. 119:107I am afflicted very much: Quicken me, O Jehovah, according unto thy word. 119:108Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill-offerings of my mouth, O Jehovah, And teach me thine ordinances. 119:109My soul is continually in my hand; Yet do I not forget thy law. 119:110The wicked have laid a snare for me; Yet have I not gone astray from thy precepts. 119:111Thy testimonies have I taken as a heritage for ever; For they are the rejoicing of my heart. 119:112I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes For ever, even unto the end. SAMEKH. 119:113I hate them that are of a double mind; But thy law do I love. 119:114Thou art my hiding-place and my shield: I hope in thy word. 119:115Depart from me, ye evil-doers, That I may keep the commandments of my God. 119:116Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live; And let me not be ashamed of my hope. 119:117Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe, And shall have respect unto thy statutes continually. 119:118Thou hast set at nought all them that err from thy statutes; For their deceit is falsehood. 119:119Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: Therefore I love thy testimonies. 119:120My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; And I am afraid of thy judgments. AYIN. 119:121I have done justice and righteousness: Leave me not to mine oppressors. 119:122Be surety for thy servant for good: Let not the proud oppress me. 119:123Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, And for thy righteous word. 119:124Deal with thy servant according unto thy lovingkindness, And teach me thy statutes. 119:125I am thy servant; give me understanding, That I may know thy testimonies. 119:126It is time for Jehovah to work; [For] they have made void thy law. 119:127Therefore I love thy commandments Above gold, yea, above fine gold. 119:128Therefore I esteem all [thy] precepts concerning all [things] to be right; [And] I hate every false way. PE. 119:129Thy testimonies are wonderful; Therefore doth my soul keep them. 119:130The opening of thy words giveth light; It giveth understanding unto the simple. 119:131I opened wide my mouth, and panted; For I longed for thy commandments. 119:132Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me, As thou usest to do unto those that love thy name. 119:133Establish my footsteps in thy word; And let not any iniquity have dominion over me. 119:134Redeem me from the oppression of man: So will I observe thy precepts. 119:135Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; And teach me thy statutes. 119:136Streams of water run down mine eyes, Because they observe not thy law. TSADHE. 119:137Righteous art thou, O Jehovah, And upright are thy judgments. 119:138Thou hast commanded thy testimonies in righteousness And very faithfulness. 119:139My zeal hath consumed me, Because mine adversaries have forgotten thy words. 119:140Thy word is very pure; Therefore thy servant loveth it. 119:141I am small and despised; [Yet] do I not forget thy precepts. 119:142Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, And thy law is truth. 119:143Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me; [Yet] thy commandments are my delight. 119:144Thy testimonies are righteous for ever: Give me understanding, and I shall live. QOPH. 119:145I have called with my whole heart; answer me, O Jehovah: I will keep thy statutes. 119:146I have called unto thee; save me, And I shall observe thy testimonies. 119:147I anticipated the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy words. 119:148Mine eyes anticipated the night-watches, That I might meditate on thy word. 119:149Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: Quicken me, O Jehovah, according to thine ordinances. 119:150They draw nigh that follow after wickedness; They are far from thy law. 119:151Thou art nigh, O Jehovah; And all thy commandments are truth. 119:152Of old have I known from thy testimonies, That thou hast founded them for ever. RESH. 119:153Consider mine affliction, and deliver me; For I do not forget thy law. 119:154Plead thou my cause, and redeem me: Quicken me according to thy word. 119:155Salvation is far from the wicked; For they seek not thy statutes. 119:156Great are thy tender mercies, O Jehovah: Quicken me according to thine ordinances. 119:157Many are my persecutors and mine adversaries; [Yet] have I not swerved from thy testimonies. 119:158I beheld the treacherous, and was grieved, Because they observe not thy word. 119:159Consider how I love thy precepts: Quicken me, O Jehovah, according to thy lovingkindness. 119:160The sum of thy word is truth; And every one of thy righteous ordinances [endureth] for ever. SHIN. 119:161Princes have persecuted me without a cause; But my heart standeth in awe of thy words. 119:162I rejoice at thy word, As one that findeth great spoil. 119:163I hate and abhor falsehood; [But] thy law do I love. 119:164Seven times a day do I praise thee, Because of thy righteous ordinances. 119:165Great peace have they that love thy law; And they have no occasion of stumbling. 119:166I have hoped for thy salvation, O Jehovah, And have done thy commandments. 119:167My soul hath observed thy testimonies; And I love them exceedingly. 119:168I have observed thy precepts and thy testimonies; For all my ways are before thee. TAV. 119:169Let my cry come near before thee, O Jehovah: Give me understanding according to thy word. 119:170Let my supplication come before thee: Deliver me according to thy word. 119:171Let my lips utter praise; For thou teachest me thy statutes. 119:172Let my tongue sing of thy word; For all thy commandments are righteousness. 119:173Let thy hand be ready to help me; For I have chosen thy precepts. 119:174I have longed for thy salvation, O Jehovah; And thy law is my delight. 119:175Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; And let thine ordinances help me. 119:176I have gone astray like a lost sheep; Seek thy servant; For I do not forget thy commandments. Psalm 120 A Song of Ascents.
120:1In my distress I cried unto Jehovah, And he answered me. 120:2Deliver my soul, O Jehovah, from lying lips, [And] from a deceitful tongue. 120:3What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee, Thou deceitful tongue? 120:4Sharp arrows of the mighty, With coals of juniper. 120:5Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, That I dwell among the tents of Kedar! 120:6My soul hath long had her dwelling With him that hateth peace. 120:7I am [for] peace: But when I speak, they are for war. Psalm 121 A Song of Ascents.
121:1I will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: From whence shall my help come? 121:2My help [cometh] from Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth. 121:3He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: He that keepeth thee will not slumber. 121:4Behold, he that keepeth Israel Will neither slumber nor sleep. 121:5Jehovah is thy keeper: Jehovah is thy shade upon thy right hand. 121:6The sun shall not smite thee by day, Nor the moon by night. 121:7Jehovah will keep thee from all evil; He will keep thy soul. 121:8Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in From this time forth and for evermore. Psalm 122 A Song of Ascents; of David.
122:1I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of Jehovah. 122:2Our feet are standing Within thy gates, O Jerusalem, 122:3Jerusalem, that art builded As a city that is compact together; 122:4Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah, [For] an ordinance for Israel, To give thanks unto the name of Jehovah. 122:5For there are set thrones for judgment, The thrones of the house of David. 122:6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: They shall prosper that love thee. 122:7Peace be within thy walls, And prosperity within thy palaces. 122:8For my brethren and companions` sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee. 122:9For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good. Psalm 123 A Song of Ascents.
123:1Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that sittest in the heavens. 123:2Behold, as the eyes of servants [look] unto the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maid unto the hand of her mistress; So our eyes [look] unto Jehovah our God, Until he have mercy upon us. 123:3Have mercy upon us, O Jehovah, have mercy upon us; For we are exceedingly filled with contempt. 123:4Our soul is exceedingly filled With the scoffing of those that are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud. Psalm 124 A Song of Ascents; of David.
124:1If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say, 124:2If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us; 124:3Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us; 124:4Then the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul; 124:5Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. 124:6Blessed be Jehovah, Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. 124:7Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: The snare is broken, and we are escaped. 124:8Our help is in the name of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth. Psalm 125 A Song of Ascents.
125:1They that trust in Jehovah Are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever. 125:2As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, So Jehovah is round about his people From this time forth and for evermore. 125:3For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; That the righteous put not forth their hands unto iniquity. 125:4Do good, O Jehovah, unto those that are good, And to them that are upright in their hearts. 125:5But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel. Psalm 126 A Song of Ascents.
126:1When Jehovah brought back those that returned to Zion, We were like unto them that dream. 126:2Then was our mouth filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing: Then said they among the nations, Jehovah hath done great things for them. 126:3Jehovah hath done great things for us, [Whereof] we are glad. 126:4Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah, As the streams in the South. 126:5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. 126:6He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves [with him]. Psalm 127 A Song of Ascents; of Solomon.
127:1Except Jehovah build the house, They labor in vain that build it: Except Jehovah keep the city, The watchman waketh but in vain. 127:2It is vain for you to rise up early, To take rest late, To eat the bread of toil; [For] so he giveth unto his beloved sleep. 127:3Lo, children are a heritage of Jehovah; [And] the fruit of the womb is [his] reward. 127:4As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, So are the children of youth. 127:5Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: They shall not be put to shame, When they speak with their enemies in the gate. Psalm 128 A Song of Ascents.
128:1Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, That walketh in his ways. 128:2For thou shalt eat the labor of thy hands: Happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. 128:3Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine, In the innermost parts of thy house; Thy children like olive plants, Round about thy table. 128:4Behold, thus shall the man be blessed That feareth Jehovah. 128:5Jehovah bless thee out of Zion: And see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. 128:6Yea, see thou thy children`s children. Peace be upon Israel. Psalm 129 A Song of Ascents.
129:1Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up, Let Israel now say, 129:2Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up: Yet they have not prevailed against me. 129:3The plowers plowed upon my back; They made long their furrows. 129:4Jehovah is righteous: He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked. 129:5Let them be put to shame and turned backward, All they that hate Zion. 129:6Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, Which withereth before it groweth up; 129:7Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, Nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom. 129:8Neither do they that go by say, The blessing of Jehovah be upon you; We bless you in the name of Jehovah. Psalm 130 A Song of Ascents.
130:1Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Jehovah. 130:2Lord, hear my voice: Let thine ears be attentive To the voice of my supplications. 130:3If thou, Jehovah, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? 130:4But there is forgiveness with thee, That thou mayest be feared. 130:5I wait for Jehovah, my soul doth wait, And in his word do I hope. 130:6My soul [waiteth] for the Lord More than watchmen [wait] for the morning; [Yea, more than] watchmen for the morning. 130:7O Israel, hope in Jehovah; For with Jehovah there is lovingkindness, And with him is plenteous redemption. 130:8And he will redeem Israel From all his iniquities. Psalm 131 A Song of Ascents; of David.
131:1Jehovah, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty; Neither do I exercise myself in great matters, Or in things too wonderful for me. 131:2Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul; Like a weaned child with his mother, Like a weaned child is my soul within me. 131:3O Israel, hope in Jehovah From this time forth and for evermore. Psalm 132 A Song of Ascents.
132:1Jehovah, remember for David All his affliction; 132:2How he sware unto Jehovah, And vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob: 132:3Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, Nor go up into my bed; 132:4I will not give sleep to mine eyes, Or slumber to mine eyelids; 132:5Until I find out a place for Jehovah, A tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob. 132:6Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah: We found it in the field of the wood. 132:7We will go into his tabernacles; We will worship at his footstool. 132:8Arise, O Jehovah, into thy resting-place; Thou, and the ark of thy strength. 132:9Let thy priest be clothed with righteousness; And let thy saints shout for joy. 132:10For thy servant David`s sake Turn not away the face of thine anointed. 132:11Jehovah hath sworn unto David in truth; He will not turn from it: Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. 132:12If thy children will keep my covenant And my testimony that I shall teach them, Their children also shall sit upon thy throne for evermore. 132:13For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for his habitation. 132:14This is my resting-place for ever: Here will I dwell; for I have desired it. 132:15I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread. 132:16Her priests also will I clothe with salvation; And her saints shall shout aloud for joy. 132:17There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed. 132:18His enemies will I clothe with shame; But upon himself shall his crown flourish. Psalm 133 A Song of Ascents; of David.
133:1Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity! 133:2It is like the precious oil upon the head, That ran down upon the beard, Even Aaron`s beard; That came down upon the skirt of his garments; 133:3Like the dew of Hermon, That cometh down upon the mountains of Zion: For there Jehovah commanded the blessing, Even life for evermore. Psalm 134 A Song of Ascents.
134:1Behold, bless ye Jehovah, all ye servants of Jehovah, That by night stand in the house of Jehovah. 134:2Lift up your hands to the sanctuary, And bless ye Jehovah. 134:3Jehovah bless thee out of Zion; Even he that made heaven and earth. Psalm 135
135:1Praise ye Jehovah. Praise ye the name of Jehovah; Praise [him], O ye servants of Jehovah, 135:2Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of the house of our God. 135:3Praise ye Jehovah; for Jehovah is good: Sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant. 135:4For Jehovah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, [And] Israel for his own possession. 135:5For I know that Jehovah is great, And that our Lord is above all gods. 135:6Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, that hath he done, In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps; 135:7Who causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; Who maketh lightnings for the rain; Who bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries; 135:8Who smote the first-born of Egypt, Both of man and beast; 135:9Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, Upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants; 135:10Who smote many nations, And slew mighty kings, 135:11Sihon king of the Amorites, And Og king of Bashan, And all the kingdoms of Canaan, 135:12And gave their land for a heritage, A heritage unto Israel his people. 135:13Thy name, O Jehovah, [endureth] for ever; Thy memorial [name], O Jehovah, throughout all generations. 135:14For Jehovah will judge his people, And repent himself concerning his servants. 135:15The idols of the nations are silver and gold, The work of men`s hands. 135:16They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not; 135:17They have ears, but they hear not; Neither is there any breath in their mouths. 135:18They that make them shall be like unto them; Yea, every one that trusteth in them. 135:19O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah: O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah: 135:20O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah: Ye that fear Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah. 135:21Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, Who dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye Jehovah. Psalm 136

Psalm 137
137:1By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept, When we remembered Zion. 137:2Upon the willows in the midst thereof We hanged up our harps. 137:3For there they that led us captive required of us songs, And they that wasted us [required of us] mirth, [saying], Sing us one of the songs of Zion. 137:4How shall we sing Jehovah`s song In a foreign land? 137:5If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, Let my right hand forget [her skill]. 137:6Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, If I remember thee not; If I prefer not Jerusalem Above my chief joy. 137:7Remember, O Jehovah, against the children of Edom The day of Jerusalem; Who said, Rase it, rase it, Even to the foundation thereof. 137:8O daughter of Babylon, that art to be destroyed, Happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee As thou hast served us. 137:9Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones Against the rock. Psalm 138 A [Psalm] of David.
138:1I will give thee thanks with my whole heart: Before the gods will I sing praises unto thee. 138:2I will worship toward thy holy temple, And give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. 138:3In the day that I called thou answeredst me, Thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul. 138:4All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O Jehovah, For they have heard the words of thy mouth. 138:5Yea, they shall sing of the ways of Jehovah; For great is the glory of Jehovah. 138:6For though Jehovah is high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly; But the haughty he knoweth from afar. 138:7Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me; Thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies, And thy right hand will save me. 138:8Jehovah will perfect that which concerneth me: Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, [endureth] for ever; Forsake not the works of thine own hands. Psalm 139 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
