137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat and also wept, When we remembered Zion.
137:2 Upon the willows in the midst of it We hung our lyres.
137:3 For there our captors asked us about the words of a song, And our tormentors asked joyfully, saying, “Sing for us one of the songs of Zion.”
137:4 How can we sing a song of Yahweh In a foreign land?
137:5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, May my right hand forget her skill.
137:6 May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth If I do not remember you, If I do not exalt Jerusalem Above my chief joy.
137:7 Remember, O Yahweh, against the sons of Edom The day of Jerusalem, Who said, “Tear it down! Tear it down To its very foundation.”
137:8 O daughter of Babylon, you devastated one, How blessed will be the one who repays you With the recompense with which you have recompensed us.
137:9 How blessed will be the one who seizes and dashes your infants Against the cliff.
