The Book of Psalms

  Psalm 137  

137:1 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 his angels:

137:1 Confitebor tibi Domine in toto corde meo quoniam audisti verba oris mei in conspectu angelorum psallam tibi

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.

137:2 Adorabo ad templum sanctum tuum et confitebor nomini tuo super misericordia tua et veritate tua quoniam magnificasti super omne nomen sanctum tuum

137:3 In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me: thou shall multiply strength in my soul.

137:3 In quacumque die invocavero te exaudi me multiplicabis me in anima mea virtute

137:4 May all the kings of the earth give glory to thee: for they have heard all the words of thy mouth.

137:4 Confiteantur tibi Domine omnes reges terrae quia audierunt omnia verba oris tui

137:5 And let them sing in the ways of the Lord: for great is the glory of the Lord.

137:5 Et cantent in viis Domini quoniam magna gloria Domini

137:6 For the Lord is high, and looketh on the low: and the high he knoweth afar off.

137:6 Quoniam excelsus Dominus et humilia respicit et alta a longe cognos cit

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.

137:7 Si ambulavero in medio tribulationis vivificabis me super iram inimicorum meorum extendisti manum tuam et salvum me fecit dextera tua

137:8 The Lord will repay for me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: O despise not the work of thy hands.

137:8 Dominus retribuet propter me Domine misericordia tua in saeculum opera manuum tuarum ne dispicias
