←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  We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
137:3  For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that made us wail required mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
137:4  How should we sing a song of Jehovah's upon a foreign soil?
137:5  If I forget thee, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill;
137:6  If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to my palate: if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
137:7  Remember, O Jehovah, against the sons of Edom, the day of Jerusalem; who said, Lay it bare, Lay it bare, down to its foundation!
137:8  Daughter of Babylon, who art to be laid waste, happy he that rendereth unto thee that which thou hast meted out to us.
137:9  Happy he that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the rock.
