Psalms 137

  1. 1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
  2. 2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
  3. 3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us delight, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
  4. 4 How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?
  5. 5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
  6. 6 If I do not remember you, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
  7. 7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Demolish it, demolish it, even to the foundation thereof.
  8. 8 O daughter of Babylon, who are to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewards you as you have served us.
  9. 9 Happy shall he be, that takes and dashes your little ones against the stones.
