Chapter 137

God's knowledge, 7. and presence (10. without the help, or hinderance of any thing) extendeth to all things, times, and places. 17. He giveth exceeding great honour to his saints, 20. the wicked, as enemies of God, are justly hated, 23. the just pray for God's perpetual direction.

1. 1

   To David himself. I will confess to thee, o Lord, in my whole heart: because thou hast heard the words of my mouth. In the sight of Angels I will sing to thee:

2. 2

   I will adore toward thy holy temple, and will confess to thy name: For thy mercy, and thy truth: because thou hast magnified above every thing thy holy name.

3. 3

   In what day soever I shall invocate thee, hear me: thou wilt multiply strength in my soul.

4. 4

   Let all the kings of the earth, o Lord, confess to thee: because they have heard all the words of thy mouth:

5. 5

   And let them sing in the ways of our Lord: because great is the glory of our Lord.

6. 6

   Because our Lord is high, and he beholdeth low things: and high things he knoweth far off.

7. 7

   If I shall walk in the midst of tribulation, thou wilt quicken me: and upon the wrath of mine enemies thou hast extended thy hand, and thy right hand hath saved me.

8. 8

   Our Lord will repay for me: o Lord thy mercy is for ever: despise not the works of thy hands.
