137:1 By the rivers in Babylon we sat and cried when we remembered Jerusalem.
137:2 On the poplar trees nearby we hung our harps.
137:3 Those who captured us asked us to sing. Our enemies wanted happy songs. They said, “Sing us a Temple song from Jerusalem!”
137:4 But we cannot sing songs about the Lord while we are in this foreign country!
137:5 Jerusalem, if I forget you, let my right hand lose its skill.
137:6 Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you. Let these things happen if I do not think about Jerusalem as my greatest joy.
137:7 Lord, remember what the Edomites did on the day Jerusalem fell. They said, “Tear it down! Tear it down to its foundations!”
137:8 People of Babylon, you will be destroyed. The people who pay you back will be happy. They will punish you for what you did to us.
137:9 They will grab your babies and throw them against the rocks.
