Psalms 137

1By the riversH5104 of BabylonH894, There we satH3427 downH3427, yea, we weptH1058, When we rememberedH2142 ZionH6726.2Upon the willows in the midstH8432 thereof We hangedH8518 up our harpsH3658.3For there they that led us captiveH7617 required of us songsH7892, And they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, SingH7891 us one of the songsH7892 of ZionH6726.4HowH349 shall we singH7891 Jehovah’s songH7892 In a foreign landH127?5If I forgetH7911 thee, O JerusalemH3389, Let my rightH3225 handH3225 forgetH7911 her skill.6Let my tongueH3956 cleave to the roof of my mouthH2441, If I rememberH2142 thee not; If I prefer not JerusalemH3389 Above my chiefH7218 joyH8057.7RememberH2142, O Jehovah, against the children of EdomH123 The dayH3117 of JerusalemH3389; Who saidH559, Rase it, rase it, Even to the foundationH3247 thereof.8O daughterH1323 of BabylonH894, that art to be destroyedH7703, Happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee As thou hast served us.9Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones Against the rockH5553.
