137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down; yea, we wept when we remembered Zion.
137:2 We hung 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 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 strange land?
137:5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cleverness.
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’s fall, who said, “Raze it, raze it, even to the foundation thereof!”
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.
