To him which divided the Red Sea into parts: 13 for his mercy endureth for ever: And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: 14 for his mercy endureth for ever: But overthrew Pharoah and his host in the Red Sea: 15 for his mercy endureth for ever.

O give thanks unto the GOD of heaven: BY the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Sion. We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song ; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Sion. How shall we sing JEHOVAH's song in a strange let my tongue cleave to my palate; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. Remember, O JEHOVAH, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase, rase it to its very foundation. O city Babylon, who art doomed to destruction, happy he, who rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. Happy he that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones. PSALM CXXXVIII.
