1 <V 137:1>Of David himself. O Lord, I will confess to you with my whole heart, for you have heard the words of my mouth. I will sing psalms to you in the sight of the Angels. I give you thanks, O LORD, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing your praise; Of David. I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; before the “gods” I will sing your praise.
2 <V 137:2>I will adore before your holy temple, and I will confess your name: it is above your mercy and your truth. For you have magnified your holy name above all. I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word. I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your unfailing love and your faithfulness, for you have so exalted your solemn decree that it surpasses your fame.
3 <V 137:3>On whatever day that I will call upon you: hear me. You will multiply virtue in my soul. On the day I called, you answered me; my strength of soul you increased. When I called, you answered me; you greatly emboldened me.
4 <V 137:4>May all the kings of the earth confess to you, O Lord. For they have heard all the words of your mouth. All the kings of the earth shall give you thanks, O LORD, for they have heard the words of your mouth, May all the kings of the earth praise you, LORD, when they hear what you have decreed.
5 <V 137:5>And let them sing in accordance with the ways of the Lord. For great is the glory of the Lord. and they shall sing of the ways of the LORD, for great is the glory of the LORD. May they sing of the ways of the LORD, for the glory of the LORD is great.
6 <V 137:6>For the Lord is exalted, and he looks with favor on the humble. But the lofty he knows from a distance. For though the LORD is high, he regards the lowly, but the haughty he knows from afar. Though the LORD is exalted, he looks kindly on the lowly; though lofty, he sees them from afar.
7 <V 137:7>If I wander into the midst of tribulation, you will revive me. For you extended your hand against the wrath of my enemies. And your right hand has accomplished my salvation. Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me. Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life. You stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes; with your right hand you save me.
8 <V 137:8>The Lord will provide retribution on my behalf. O Lord, your mercy is forever. Do not disdain the works of your hands. The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands. The LORD will vindicate me; your love, LORD, endures forever— do not abandon the works of your hands.
