Psalms 137 KJV
King James Version, Holy Bible
Psalm 137 KJV
- 1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
- 2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
- 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.
Psalm 137 KJV continued (Old Testament, King James Bible)
- 4 How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?
- 5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
- 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.
- 7 Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.
- 8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
- 9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
Prayer on Psalm 137 KJV
Prayer: Thank You Lord for Who You are. Thank You Lord that You are faithful and that you cause all things to work together for the good of those who love you and are called according to Your purpose. Mighty God, let the knowledge of Your glory cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Help us to be faithful to the mission and call that you have us here on earth; reconciling man to God as though you were making your appeals through us. King of glory You died for us so we will live for you and the life that we now live is the Life that you have given to us in Yourself. Glorify Your Name O Lord and perfect Your Church, Your Bride, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
