Chapter 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 they that wasted us [required of us] mirth, [saying], 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 thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget [her cunning].  

 

 


6


 

  If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.  

 

 


7


 

  Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase [it], rase [it, even] to the foundation thereof.  

 

 


8


 

  O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy [shall he be], that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.  

 

 


9


 

  Happy [shall he be], that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
