Psalms 136 — Side by side (ASV, WEB, DRA, YLT)

1Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

1Upon the rivers of Babylon, there we sat and wept: when we remembered Sion:

1Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age <FI>is<Fi> His kindness.

2Oh give thanks unto the God of gods; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

2On the willows in the midst thereof we hung up our instruments.

2Give ye thanks to the God of gods, For to the age <FI>is<Fi> His kindness.

3Oh give thanks unto the Lord of lords; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:

3For there they that led us into captivity required of us the words of songs. And they that carried us away, said: Sing ye to us a hymn of the songs of Sion.

3Give ye thanks to the Lord of lords, For to the age <FI>is<Fi> His kindness.

4To him who alone doeth great wonders; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:

4How shall we sing the song of the Lord in a strange land?

4To Him doing great wonders by Himself alone, For to the age <FI>is<Fi> His kindness.

5To him that by understanding made the heavens; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:

5If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand be forgotten.

5To Him making the heavens by understanding, For to the age <FI>is<Fi> His kindness.

6To him that spread forth the earth above the waters; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:

6Let my tongue cleave to my jaws, if I do not remember thee: If I make not Jerusalem the beginning of my joy.

6To Him spreading the earth over the waters, For to the age <FI>is<Fi> His kindness.

7To him that made great lights; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:

7Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom, in the day of Jerusalem: Who say: Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.

7To Him making great lights, For to the age <FI>is<Fi> His kindness.

8The sun to rule by day; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever;

8O daughter of Babylon, miserable: blessed shall he be who shall repay thee thy payment which thou hast paid us.

8The sun to rule by day, For to the age <FI>is<Fi> His kindness.

9The moon and stars to rule by night; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:

9Blessed be he that shall take and dash thy little ones against the rock.
