Psalm 137

{137:1} By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down.
Yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
{137:2} On the willows in its midst,
we hung up our harps.
{137:3} For there, those who led us captive asked us for songs.
Those who tormented us demanded songs of joy:
"Sing us one of the songs of Zion!"
{137:4} How can we sing Yahweh's song in a foreign land?
{137:5} If I forget you, Jerusalem,
let my right hand forget its skill.
{137:6} Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don't
remember you;
if I don't prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy.
{137:7} Remember, Yahweh, against the children of Edom,
the day of Jerusalem;
who said, "Raze it!
Raze it even to its foundation!"
{137:8} Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction,
he will be happy who rewards you,
as you have served us.
{137:9} Happy shall he be,
who takes and dashes your little ones against the rock.

Psalm 138
By David.

{138:1} I will give you thanks with my whole heart.
Before the [3>]gods[<3], I will sing praises to you.
{138:2} I will bow down toward your holy temple,
and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your
truth;
for you have exalted your Name and your Word above all.
{138:3} In the day that I called, you answered me.
You encouraged me with strength in my soul.
{138:4} All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, Yahweh,
for they have heard the words of your mouth.
{138:5} Yes, they will sing of the ways of Yahweh;
for great is Yahweh's glory.
{138:6} For though Yahweh is high, yet he looks after the lowly;
but the proud, he knows from afar.
{138:7} Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me.
You will stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies.
Your right hand will save me.
{138:8} Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me;
your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever.
Don't forsake the works of your own hands.
