Psalm 137

Select Translation

1 A Psalm for David, of Haggai and Zechariah. 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 everything.
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 thy 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 forever: Overlook not the works of thy hands.
