Psalms 137
Psa 137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
Psa 137:2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.

Psalms 139
Psa 139:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. O Lord, Thou hast searched me, and known me.
Psa 139:2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, Thou understandest my thought afar off.
Psa 139:3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
Psa 139:4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, Thou knowest it altogether.
Psa 139:5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid Thine hand upon me.
Psa 139:6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
Psa 139:7 Whither shall I go from Thy Spirit? or whither shall I flee from Thy presence?
Psa 139:8 If I ascend up into Heaven, Thou art there: if I make my bed in Hell, behold, Thou art there.
Psa 139:9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
Psa 139:10 Even there shall Thy hand lead me, and Thy right hand shall hold me.
Psa 139:11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
Psa 139:12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from Thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to Thee.
Psa 139:13 For Thou hast possessed my reins: Thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
Psa 139:14 I will praise Thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are Thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
Psa 139:15 My substance was not hid from Thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Psa 139:16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in Thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
Psa 139:17 How precious also are Thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
Psa 139:18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with Thee.
Psa 139:19 Surely Thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
Psa 139:20 For they speak against Thee wickedly, and Thine enemies take Thy name in vain.
Psa 139:21 Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate Thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against Thee?
Psa 139:22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
Psa 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
Psa 139:24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Psa 140:10 Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
