Psalm 137


1 A Psalm for David, of Aggeus and Zacharias.

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 regardeth the lowly;

and he knoweth 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 hath saved me.

8 O Lord, thou shalt recompense them on my behalf:

thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever:

overlook not the works of thy hands.
