PsalmsPsalm 137 |
|
1 BY the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down. yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. |
|
2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. |
|
3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and our captors said to us, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. |
|
4 How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strange land? |
|
5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget me. |
|
6 If I do not remember you, let my tongue cleave to my palate, if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. |
|
7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem, who said, Raze it, raze it, even to the foundation thereof. |
|
8 O daughter of Babylon, taker of spoils, blessed shall he be who rewards you as you have served us. |
|
9 Blessed shall he be who takes and dashes your little ones against the stones. |
