Psalm136 Punctuated by the refrain exalting the Lord’s steadfast
love (Heb., hesed Hos.2:19), this hymn opens with a call to praise (vv.1-3)
because of God’s great deeds in nature (vv.4-9), His gracious actions in the
history of Israel(vv.10-22), and His mercy toward all (vv.23-25), and closes
with another call to praise(v.26). This psalm was probably used antiphonally in
Temple worship. In Jewish liturgy it is called “ the Great Hallel,” recited at
the Passover meal after the “Lesser Hallel” (Ps.113).

Psalm 137 In this Song of the Exiles, the psalmist
mourns the plight of captive Jews(vv.1-4), expresses his love for
Jerusalem(vv.5-6), and imprecates against Israel’s enemies (vv.7-9). Verse 1 the rivers of Babylon. The Euphrates
and its tributaries, the Chebar(Ezek.1:1), and numberous canals of the area.
Verses 8-9 the stern law of retaliation demanded that Babylon be treated as she
had treated Jerusalem.
Psalms 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.
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.
詩 137 (CKJVGT)
¹ 我們曾在巴比倫的河邊坐下，一追想錫安就哭了。
² 我們把琴掛在那裏的柳樹上；
³因為在那裏,擄掠我們的要我們唱歌,搶奪我們的要我們作樂,說:給我們唱一首錫安歌吧！
⁴ 我們怎能在外邦唱 耶和華的歌呢？
⁵ 耶路撒冷啊，我若忘記你，情願我的右手忘記技巧！
⁶ 我若不記念你，若不看耶路撒冷過於我所最喜樂的，情願我的舌頭貼於上膛！
⁷ 耶路撒冷遭難的日子，以東人說：拆毀！拆毀！直拆到根基！ 耶和華啊，求你記念這仇！
⁸ 將要被滅的女子巴比倫啊，報復你像你待我們的，那人便為有福！
⁹ 拿你的嬰孩摔在磐石上的，那人便為有福！
Psalm 138 in this thanksgiving psalm, the psalmist
praises God for answered prayer (vv.1-3),
for His plan for the world (vv.4-6), and for His purposes for
himself(vv.7-8). Verse 1 gods. Likely a reference to pagan idols, whose
supposed might the psalmist challenges. Verse 2. Word. God’s answer to the
psalmist's prayer surpassed all that he had preciously known His name to
signify. Verse 8 the psalmist expresses confidence in the will of God whose
love is forever.
Psalms 138 (KJV)(A Psalm of David.)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
¹ I will praise thee with my
whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
² I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise
thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy
word above all thy name.
³ In the day when I cried thou answeredst me,
and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
⁴ All the kings of the earth shall praise thee,
O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.
⁵ Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD:
for great is the glory of the LORD.
⁷ Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
⁸ The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
詩 138 (CKJVGT) （大衛的詩）
¹我要一心讚美你,在諸神面前歌頌你。
²我要向你的聖殿敬拜,為你的慈愛和誠實稱讚你的名；因你使你的話顯為大，超乎你一切的名聲.
³ 我呼求的日子，你就應允我，堅固我，使我心裏有能力。
⁴ 耶和華啊，地上的君王都要稱讚你，因他們聽見了你口中的言語。
⁵ 他們要歌頌 耶和華的作為，因 耶和華大有榮耀。
⁶ 耶和華雖高，仍看顧低微的人；他卻從遠處看出驕傲的人。
⁷ 我雖行在患難中,你必將我救活；我的仇敵發怒,你必伸手抵擋他們；你的右手也必救我.
⁸ 耶和華必成全關乎我的事； 耶和華啊，你的慈愛永遠長存！求你不要離棄你手所造的。
