  137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

  137:2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.

  137:3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

  137:4 How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?

  137:5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.

  137:6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.

  137:7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.

  137:8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.

  137:9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

  138:1 I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.

  138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

  138:3 In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.

  138:4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.

  138:5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.

  138:6 Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

  138:7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

  138:8 The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.

  139:1 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.

  139:2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

  139:3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

  139:4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.

  139:5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

  139:6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

  139:7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

  139:8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

  139:9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

  139:10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

  139:11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.

  139:12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

  139:13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

  139:14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

  139:15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

  139:16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

  139:17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

  139:18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

  139:19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.

  139:20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.

  139:21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?

  139:22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.

  139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

  139:24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

  140:1 Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;

  140:2 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.

  140:3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.

  140:4 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.

  140:5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.

  140:6 I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.

  140:7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.

  140:8 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.

  140:9 As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

  140:10 Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.

  140:11 Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

  140:12 I know that the LORD will maintain the caus
e of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.

  140:13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.

  141:1 Lord, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.

  141:2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

  141:3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

  141:4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.

  141:5 Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.

  141:6 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.

  141:7 Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.

  141:8 But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.

  141:9 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.

  141:10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.

  142:1 I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.

  142:2 I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.

  142:3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path.

  In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.

  142:4 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.

  142:5 I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

  142:6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

  142:7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

  143:1 Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.

  143:2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.

  143:3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.

  143:4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.

  143:5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.

  143:6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.

  143:7 Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.

  143:8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.

  143:9 Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.

  143:10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.

  143:11 Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.

  143:12 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.

  144:1 Blessed be the LORD my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:

  144:2 My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.

  144:3 LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!

  144:4 Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.

  144:5 Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.

  144:6 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.

  144:7 Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;

  144:8 Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

  144:9 I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.

  144:10 It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.

  144:11 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:

  144:12 That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:

  144:13 That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:

  144:14 That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.

  144:15 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.

  145:1 I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.

  145:2 Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.

  145:3 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.

  145:4 One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.

  145:5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.

  145:6 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.

  145:7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.

  145:8 The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.

  145:9 The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.

  145:10 All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless thee.

  145:11 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power;

  145:12 To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.

  145:13 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.

  145:14 The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.

  145:15 The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season.

  145:16 Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

  145:17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.

  145:18 The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.

  145:19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.

  145:20 The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.

  145:21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.

  146:1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

  146:2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

  146:3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

  146:4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

  146:5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:

  146:6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:

  146:7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry.
The LORD looseth the prisoners:

  146:8 The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:
