7 He bringeth forth the clouds from the ends of the world: and sendeth forth lightnings with the rain, bringing the winds out of his treasures.
8 He smote the first-born of Egypt: both of man and beast.
9 He hath sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O thou land of Egypt: upon Pharaoh, and all his servants.
10 He smote divers nations: and slew mighty kings;
11 Sehon king of the Amorites, and Og the king of Basan: and all the kingdoms of Canaan;
12 And gave their land to be an heritage: even an heritage unto Israel his people.
13 Thy Name, O Lord, endureth for ever: so doth thy memorial, O Lord, from one generation to another.
14 For the Lord will avenge his people: and be gracious unto his servants.
15 As for the images of the heathen, they are but silver and gold: the work of men"s hands.
16 They have mouths, and speak not: eyes have they, but they see not.
17 They have ears, and yet they hear not: neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 They that make them are like unto them: and so are all they that put their trust in them.
19 Praise the Lord, ye house of Israel; praise the Lord, ye house of Aaron.
20 Praise the Lord, ye house of Levi: ye that fear the Lord, praise the Lord.
21 Praised be the Lord out of Sion: who dwelleth at Jerusalem.

PSALM 137. _Super flumina_.
By the waters of Babylon we sat down and wept: when we remembered thee, O Sion.
2 As for our harps, we hanged them up: upon the trees that are therein.
3 For they that led us away captive required of us then a song, and melody in our heaviness: Sing us one of the songs of Sion.
4 How shall we sing the Lord"s song: in a strange land?
5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem: let my right hand forget her cunning.
