Behold the power of God in the Psalms!

The future proves the past.

Psalm 137:

Lament over the Destruction of Jerusalem

137 By the waters of Babylon,

there we sat down and wept,

when we remembered Zion.

2 On the willows there

we hung up our lyres.

3 For there our captors

required of us songs,

and our tormentors, mirth, saying,

“Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”

4 How shall we sing the Lord’s song

in a foreign land?

5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem,

let my right hand wither!

6 Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth,

if I do not remember you,

if I do not set Jerusalem

above my highest joy!

7 Remember, O Lord, against the E′domites

the day of Jerusalem,

how they said, “Raze it, raze it!

Down to its foundations!”

8 O daughter of Babylon, you devastator!

Happy shall he be who requites you

with what you have done to us!

9 Happy shall he be who takes your little ones

and dashes them against the rock!

Behold the power of God in the Psalms!

The future proves the past.

Psalm 138:

Thanksgiving and Praise

A Psalm of David.

138 I give thee thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart;

before the gods I sing thy praise;

2 I bow down toward thy holy temple

and give thanks to thy name for thy steadfast love and thy faithfulness;

for thou hast exalted above everything

thy name and thy word.

3 On the day I called, thou didst answer me,

my strength of soul thou didst increase.

4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord,

for they have heard the words of thy mouth;

5 and they shall sing of the ways of the Lord,

for great is the glory of the Lord.

6 For though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly;

but the haughty he knows from afar.

7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble,

thou dost preserve my life;

thou dost stretch out thy hand against the wrath of my enemies,

and thy right hand delivers me.

8 The Lord will fullfil his purpose for me;

thy steadfast love, O Lord, endures for ever.

Do not forsake the work of thy hands.

These are the only the differences we are aware of now. I am certain the effects are far greater than either of us can imagine.

God Bless!
