eth in the heavens, and on the earth, in the sea and in the abyss.

7 He raiseth the vapours from the surface of the earth; he formeth the lightnings with the rain, and bringeth forth the wind from his treasuries.

8 He it is who smote the first-born of Egypt, both of man and beast :

9 Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, o Egypt! upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants:

10 Who smote nations which were numerous, and slew kings who were powerful: 11 Namely; Sihon, kingof the Amorites; and Og, king of Bashan; and all the king. doms of Canaan :

12 And gave their land for an inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people.

13 Thy name, O JEHOVAH ! is eternal: and the remembrance of thee shall endure through all generations.

14 For JEHOVAH will do justice to his people, and have compassion on his ser

vants.

15 But the idols of the nations are nothing more than silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

16 They

16 They have mouths, but speak not; and eyes, but see not:

17 They have ears, but hear not; yea, there is no breath in their mouths.

18 Such as these are, such are those who make them; and such is every one who placeth his trust in them.

19 Praise JEHOVAH, ye house of Israel; praise JEHOVAH, ye house of Aaron ! 20 Praise JEHOVAH, ye house of Levi; ye who fear JEHOVAH, praise JEHOVAH! 21 Praised from Zion be JEHOVAH, who dwelleth at Jerusalem !

PSALM PSALM CXXXVII.

BY the rivers of Babylon we sat down; we wept when we remembered Zion.

2 We hung our harps upon the willows which grow there.

3 When those who led us captive demanded of us a song, and those who had taken us prisoners required from us expressions of joy, saying, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion :"

4 We answered; "How can we sing a song unto JEHOVAH in a foreign land ?" 5 If I forget thee, O JERUSALEM ! let my right-hand forget its skill in playing !

6 Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I do not remember thee; if I do not prefer thee, o Jerusalem! above my greatest joy.

7 Remember, O JEHOVAH! the sons of Edom, who said, in the day of Jerusalem, "Rase it, rase it, even to its foundation!"

8 O daughter of Babylon who art to be destroyed! happy shall he be who shall do unto thee, what thou hast done unto us: 9 Happy the man, who shall seize, and dash thy little ones against the rock.
