←Prev   Psalms 137 as rendered by/in  Next→ 



137:1  By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept, When we remembered Zion.
137:2  Upon the willows in the midst thereof We hanged up our harps.
137:3  For there they that led us captive required of us songs, And they that wasted us required of us mirth,'saying , Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
137:4  How shall we sing Jehovah's song In a foreign land?
137:5  If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, Let my right hand forget her skill .
137:6  Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, If I remember thee not; If I prefer not Jerusalem Above my chief joy.
137:7  Remember, O Jehovah, against the children of Edom The day of Jerusalem; Who said, Rase it, rase it, Even to the foundation thereof.
137:8  O daughter of Babylon, that 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 rock.
