20 And Og king of Bashan;

For his lovingkindness endureth for ever;

21 And gave their land for a heritage;

For his lovingkindness endureth for ever;

22 Even a heritage unto Israel his servant;

For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:

23 Who remembered us in our low estate;

For his lovingkindness endureth for ever;

24 And hath delivered us from our adversaries;

For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:

25 Who giveth food to all flesh;

For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

26 Oh give thanks unto the God of heaven;

For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

1 *Псалом 136. [1]Иез 1:1.Ис 30:19. При реках Вавилона, там сидели мы и плакали, когда вспоминали о Сионе; 2 на вербах, посреди его, повесили мы наши арфы. 3 Там пленившие нас требовали от нас слов песней, и притеснители наши — веселья: «пропойте нам из песней Сионских». 4 Как нам петь песнь Господню на земле чужой? 5 *[5]Иер 51:50. Если я забуду тебя, Иерусалим, — забудь меня десница моя; 6 прилипни язык мой к гортани моей, если не буду помнить тебя, если не поставлю Иерусалима во главе веселия моего. 7 *[7]Иер 49:7.Иез 25:12;35:5. Припомни, Господи, сынам Едомовым день Иерусалима, когда они говорили: «разрушайте, разрушайте до основания его». 8 Дочь Вавилона, опустошительница! блажен, кто воздаст тебе за то, что ты сделала нам! 9 *[9]Ис 13:16. Блажен, кто возьмет и разобьет младенцев твоих о камень!

Слава:
