Psalms 137
1. By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down * , yea, we wept * , when we remembered * Zion.
2. We hanged * our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
3. 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 Zion.
4. How shall we sing * the LORD'S song in a strange land?
5. If I forget * thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget * her cunning.
6. If I do not remember * thee, let my tongue cleave * to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer * not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
7. Remember * , O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said * , Rase * it, rase * it, even to the foundation thereof.
8. O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed * ; happy shall he be, that rewardeth * thee as thou hast served * us.
9. Happy shall he be, that taketh * and dasheth * thy little ones against the stones.
