Psalm 137 New King James Version

1 By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept When we remembered Zion.
     Lord, we weep for the Episcopal Diocese of Albany.

2 We hung our harps Upon the willows in the midst of it. 3 For there those who carried us away captive asked of us a song, And those who plundered us requested mirth, Saying, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”
     Jesus, those who have carried it away captive want us to rejoice in this.

4 How shall we sing the Lord’s song In a foreign land?
     Father, how shall we sing when we are in an alien land.

5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, Let my right hand forget its skill!
     Holy Spirit, do not let me forget the glory that was.

6 If I do not remember you, Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth—If I do not exalt Jerusalem
Above my chief joy.
     Holy Spirt, help me remember the days of glory when you shown forth in the diocese.

7 Remember, O Lord, against the sons of Edom The day of Jerusalem, Who said, “Raze it, raze it, To its very foundation!”
     LORD, deal with those who would destroy what was good.

8 O daughter of Babylon, who are to be destroyed, Happy the one who repays you as you have served us! 9 Happy the one who takes and dashes Your little ones against the rock!
     Happy is the person who can bring us back to being disciples making disciples.

A Word Received: Look to me for safety in the storm.
