136:020 Og king of Bashan; for his loving kindness endures forever;
136:021 And gave their land as an inheritance; for his loving
kindness endures forever;
136:022 Even a heritage to Israel his servant; for his loving
kindness endures forever:
136:023 Who remembered us in our low estate; for his loving
kindness endures forever;
136:024 And has delivered us from our adversaries; for his loving
kindness endures forever:
136:025 Who gives food to every creature; for his loving

137:001 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down. Yes, we wept,
when we remembered Zion.
137:002 On the willows in the midst of it, we hung up our harps.
137:003 For there, those who led us captive asked us for songs.
Those who tormented us demanded songs of joy: "Sing us one

137:005 If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill.
137:006 Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don't remember you;
if I don't prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy.
