Psalms Chapter 137




1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.


2 Upon the willows in the midst thereof we hanged up our harps.


3 For there they that led us captive asked of us words of song, and our tormentors asked of us mirth: {N}


'Sing us one of the songs of Zion.'


4 How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a foreign land?


5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.


6 Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I remember thee not; {N}


if I set not Jerusalem above my chiefest joy.


7 Remember, O LORD, against the children of Edom the day of Jerusalem; {N}


who said: 'Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.'


8 O daughter of Babylon, that art to be destroyed; {N}


happy shall he be, that repayeth thee as thou hast served us.


9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the rock. {P}
