137:1 By the rivers of Babel, there we sat and we wept, when we remembered Zion.
137:2 Upon the willows within it we hung our harps.
137:3 Because there they asked and they wanted the words of songs, and those leading us said to us, “Sing to us of the songs of Zion.”
137:4 How will we sing to you the praises of Lord Jehovah in a foreign land?
137:5 If I forget you, oh, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget me!
137:6 And let my tongue cleave to the roof of my palate, unless I remember you, unless I shall go up to Jerusalem, my chief joy!
137:7 Lord Jehovah has remembered the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem, when they said, “Lay bare, lay bare unto its foundations”!
137:8 Daughter of Babel, destroyer, Blessed is he who will pay you the reward which you have paid us!
137:9 Blessed is he who will seize your infants and will dash the rocks!
