137:1  By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
137:2  We hung our harps upon the willows in the midst of it.
137:3  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.
137:4  How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a foreign land?
137:5  If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her skill.
137:6  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.
137:7  Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Raze it, raze it, even to its foundation.
137:8  O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
137:9  Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
