Psalms 136

1O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy 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.

1Give ye thanks unto Jehovah, for he is good; for his loving-kindness [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.

2 Give thanks unto theGod ofgods, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;

3O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy 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.

3 Give thanks unto the Lord of lords, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

4To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.
