Psalms 137

(Ezekiel 1:1–3)

1ByH5921 the riversH5104 of BabylonH894 we satH3427 andH1571 weptH1058when we rememberedH2142 ZionH6726.2There onH5921 the willowsH6155H84321we hungH8518 our harpsH3658,3forH3588 thereH8033 our captorsH7617H1697 requestedH7592 a songH7892;our tormentors demandedH8437 songs of joyH8057:
“SingH7891 us a songH7892 of ZionH6726.”
4HowH349 can we singH7891 a songH7892 of the LORDH3068inH5921 a foreignH5236 landH127?5IfH518 I forget youH7911, O JerusalemH3389,may my right handH3225 cease to functionH7911.6May my tongueH3956 clingH1692 to the roof of my mouthH2441ifH518 I do notH3808 remember youH2142,ifH518 I do notH3808 exaltH5927 JerusalemH3389asH5921 my greatestH7218 joyH8057!
7RememberH2142, O LORDH3068,the sonsH1121 of EdomH123 on the dayH3117 JerusalemH3389 fell:“Destroy itH6168,” they saidH559,“tear it downH6168 toH5704 its foundationsH3247!”
8O DaughterH1323 of BabylonH894,doomed to destructionH7703,blessedH835 is he who repaysH7999 youasH1576 you have doneH1580 to us.9Blessed isH835 he who seizesH270 your infantsH5768and dashesH5310 themH853 againstH413 the rocksH5553.
