Psalms 137
Psalms chapter 137 from the Douay-Rheims Bible, Challoner Revision
1 I have purchased thy testimonies for an inheritance for ever: because they are the joy of my heart. 2 I have inclined my heart to do thy justifications for ever, for the reward. 3 I have hated the unjust: and have loved thy law. 4 Thou art my helper and my protector: and in thy word I have greatly hoped. 5 Depart from me, ye malignant: and I will search the commandments of my God. 6 Uphold me according to thy word, and I shall live: and let me not be confounded in my expectation. 7 Help me, and I shall be saved: and I will meditate always on thy justifications. 8 Thou hast despised all them that fall off from thy judgments; for their thought is unjust. 9 I have accounted all the sinners of the earth prevaricators: therefore have I loved thy testimonies.
