Psalms 137

1

Psalm 137

1

By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion.

2

There on the poplars we hung our harps,

3

for there our captors asked us for songs, our tormentors demanded songs of joy; they said, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion!"

4

How can we sing the songs of the LORD while in a foreign land?

5

If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget [its skill].

6

May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy.

7

Remember, O LORD, what the Edomites did on the day Jerusalem fell. "Tear it down," they cried, "tear it down to its foundations!"

8

O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us--

9

he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.

Psalms 138

1

Psalm 138 Of David.

1

I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; before the "gods" I will sing your praise.

2

I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word.

3

When I called, you answered me; you made me bold and stouthearted.

4

May all the kings of the earth praise you, O LORD, when they hear the words of your mouth.

5

May they sing of the ways of the LORD, for the glory of the LORD is great.

6

Though the LORD is on high, he looks upon the lowly, but the proud he knows from afar.

7

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes, with your right hand you save me.

8

The LORD will fulfill [his purpose] for me; your love, O LORD, endures forever-- do not abandon the works of your hands.

Psalms 139

1

Psalm 139 For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.

1

O LORD, you have searched me and you know me.

2

You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.

3

You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.

4

Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD.

5

You hem me in--behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me.

6

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

7

Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?

8

If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

9

If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,

10

even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.

11

If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,"

12

even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.

13

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.

14

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

15

My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

16

your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

17

How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!

18

Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.

19

If only you would slay the wicked, O God! Away from me, you bloodthirsty men!

20

They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name.

21

Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD, and abhor those who rise up against you?

22

I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies.

23

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.

24

See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
