Chapter 136

1Give ye thanks unto Jehovah, for he is good; for his loving-kindness endureth for ever:2Give thanks unto the God of gods, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever;3Give thanks unto the Lord of lords, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever.4To him who alone doeth great wonders, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever:5To him that by understanding made the heavens, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever;6To him that stretched out the earth above the waters, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever;7To him that made great lights, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever;8The sun for rule over the day, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever,9The moon and stars for rule over the night, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever:10To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever,11And brought out Israel from among them, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever,12With a powerful hand and with a stretched-out arm, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever;13To him that divided the Red sea into parts, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever,14And made Israel to pass through the midst of it, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever,15And overturned Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever;16To him that led his people through the wilderness, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever;17To him that smote great kings, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever,18And slew famous kings, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever;19Sihon king of the Amorites, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever,20And Og king of Bashan, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever;21And gave their land for an inheritance, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever,22An inheritance unto Israel his servant, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever:23Who hath remembered us in our low estate, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever;24And hath delivered us from our oppressors, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever:25Who giveth food to all flesh, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever.26Give ye thanks unto the *God of the heavens; for his loving-kindness endureth for ever.

Chapter 137

1By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down; yea, we wept when we remembered Zion.2We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.3For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that made us wail required mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.4How should we sing a song of Jehovah's upon a foreign soil?5If I forget thee, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill;6If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to my palate: if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.7Remember, O Jehovah, against the sons of Edom, the day of Jerusalem; who said, Lay it bare, Lay it bare, down to its foundation!8Daughter of Babylon, who art to be laid waste, happy he that rendereth unto thee that which thou hast meted out to us.9Happy he that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the rock.

Chapter 138

A Psalm of David.1I will give thee thanks with my whole heart; before the gods will I sing psalms of thee.2I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness, and celebrate thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth; for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.3In the day when I called thou answeredst me; thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.4All the kings of the earth shall celebrate thee, Jehovah, when they have heard the words of thy mouth;5And they shall sing in the ways of Jehovah, for great is the glory of Jehovah.6For Jehovah is high; but he looketh upon the lowly, and the proud he knoweth afar off.7Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the anger of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.8Jehovah will perfect what concerneth me: thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, endureth for ever; forsake not the works of thine own hands.
