PSALM

PSALM CXXXVII.

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

2 We hung our harps upon the willows which grow there.

3 When those who led us captive demanded of us a song, and those who had taken us prisoners required from us expressions of joy,-saying, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion:"

4 We answered; "How can we sing a song unto JEHOVAH in a foreign land ?” 5 If I forget thee, O JERUSALEM ! let my right-hand forget its skill in playing!

6 Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I do not remember thee; if I do not prefer thec, o Jerusalem! above my greatest joy.

7 Remember, O JEHOVAH! the sons of Edom, who said, in the day of Jerusalem, "Rase it, rase it, even to its foundation!" 8 O daughter of Babylon who art to be destroyed! happy shall he be who shall do unto thee, what thou hast done unto us: 9 Happy the man, who shall seize, and dash thy little ones against the rock.

PSALM

PSALM CXXXVIII.

I WILL praise thee, O JEHOVAH ! with my whole heart; in preference to other gods, I will praise thee.

2 I will prostrate myself in thine holy temple, and praise thy name, because of thy mercy and truth for thou hast magnified thy name above every other name.

3 When I called upon thee, thou heardest me; and enduedst my soul with much. strength.

4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O JEHOVAH! when they shall hear the words of thy mouth:

5 And they shall sing concerning JEHOVAH; "That great is the glory of JEHO

VAH :

6" For, though JEHOVAH be exalted, yet he beholdeth the humble; and bringeth evil on the proud from afar."

7 Though I walk in the midst of distress, thou supportcst me; thou stretchest forth thine hand against the fury of mine enemies, and thy right-hand saveth me.

8 JEHOVAH is a shield unto me thy mercy, O JEHOVAH ! endureth for

ever:

thou

thou never forsakest the work of thine hands.

PSALM CXXXIX.

O JEHOVAH ! thou hast thoroughly examined me, and knowest me; thou knowest my sitting down, and my rising up: thou understandest my thoughts from afar. 2 Thou surroundest my path and my bed; and foreseest all my ways.

3 Before my speech is upon my tongue, thou, O JEHOVAH! knowest the whole of it. 4 This wonde:ful knowledge is too high for me, I cannot attain unto it.

5 Lo! O JEHOVAH! thou knowest all the past and the future; thou didst form me, and didst place thine hand upon me.

6 Whither can I go from thy spirit? and whither can I flee from thy presence?

7

If I climb the heavens, thou art there; if I make my bed in the grave, lo! thou art there also.

8 If I take my flight to the cast; or settle in the remotest part of the west :

9 Even there thine hand will still lead me, and thy right-hand will hold me.
