Psalm 137

Darby Bible

1By the riversH5104 of BabylonH894, there we satH3427 downH3427; yea, we weptH1058 when we rememberedH2142 ZionH6726.2We hangedH8518 our harpsH3658 upon the willows in the midstH8432 thereof.3For there they that carried us away captiveH7617 required of us a songH7892; and they that made us wail [required] mirth, [saying,] SingH7891 us [one] of the songsH7892 of ZionH6726.4HowH349 should we singH7891 a songH7892 of Jehovah's upon a foreign soil?5If I forgetH7911 thee, JerusalemH3389, let my rightH3225 handH3225 forgetH7911 [its skill];6If I do not rememberH2142 thee, let my tongueH3956 cleave to my palateH2441: if I prefer not JerusalemH3389 above my chiefH7218 joyH8057.7RememberH2142, O Jehovah, against the sonsH1121 of EdomH123, the dayH3117 of JerusalemH3389; who saidH559, Lay [it] bareH6168, Lay [it] bareH6168, down to its foundationH3247!8DaughterH1323 of BabylonH894, who art to be laid waste, happy he that rendereth unto thee that which thou hast meted out to us.9Happy he that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the rockH5553.
