Psalm 137 (Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition)

summer images on a freezing cold day in Vermont,
was 18 below f. here last night and per usual,
it warmed up to 10 above f,
and it feels colder...
be careful,
roads slick,
drifting snow.
These photos look so foreign now,
at such a hostile place in winter.
some winters worse.
the midwestern US has been hammered,
now we are bearing arctic blasts of air.

 

Psalm 137

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)

137 I will praise thee, O lord, with my whole heart: for thou hast heard the words of my mouth. I will sing praise to thee in the sight of his angels:

² I will worship towards thy holy temple, and I will give glory to thy name. For thy mercy, and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy holy name above all.

³ In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me: thou shall multiply strength in my soul.

⁴ May all the kings of the earth give glory to thee: for they have heard all the words of thy mouth.

⁵ And let them sing in the ways of the Lord: for great is the glory of the Lord.

⁶ For the Lord is high, and looketh on the low: and the high he knoweth afar off.

⁷ If I shall walk in the midst of tribulation, thou wilt quicken me: and thou hast stretched forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies: and thy right hand hath saved me.

⁸ The Lord will repay for me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: O despise not the work of thy hands.
