Psalm 137

(138) A Psalm for David, of Aggaeus and Zacharias.

1I will give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; and I will sing psalms to you before the angels; for you have heard all the words of my mouth.

2I will worship towards your holy temple, and give thanks to your name, on account of your mercy and your truth; for you have magnified your holy name above every thing.

3In whatever day I shall call upon you, hear me speedily; you shall abundantly provide me with your power in my soul.

4Let all the kings of the earth, o Lord, give thanks to you; for they have heard all the words of your mouth.

5And let them sing in the ways of the Lord; for great is the glory of the Lord.

6For the Lord is high, and yet regards the lowly; and he knows high things from afar off.

7Though I should walk in the midst of affliction, you will quicken me; you have stretched forth your hands against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand has saved me.

8O Lord, you shall recompense them on my behalf: your mercy, O Lord, endures for ever: overlook not the works of your hands.
