¹ (137-1) <For David himself.> I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: for thou hast heard the words of my mouth. I will sing praise to thee in the sight of the angels:² (137-2) I will worship towards thy holy temple, and I will give glory to thy name. For thy mercy, and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy holy name above all.³ (137-3) In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me: thou shalt multiply strength in my soul.⁴ (137-4) May all the kings of the earth give glory to thee: for they have heard all the words of thy mouth.⁵ (137-5) And let them sing in the ways of the Lord: for great is the glory of the Lord.

⁶ (137-6) For the Lord is high, and looketh on the low: and the high he knoweth afar off.⁷ (137-7) If I shall walk in the midst of tribulation, thou wilt quicken me: and thou hast stretched forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies: and thy right hand hath saved me.⁸ The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, endure forever—forsake not the works of Your own hands. Ps. 57:2;
