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 made us wail [required] mirth, [saying,] Sing us [one] of the songs of Zion.  

 

 

-

4


 

  How should we sing a song of Jehovah's upon a foreign soil?  

 

 

-

5


 

  If I forget thee, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget [its skill];  

 

 

-

6


 

  If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to my palate: if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.  

 

 

-

7


 

  Remember, O Jehovah, against the sons of Edom, the day of Jerusalem; who said, Lay [it] bare, Lay [it] bare, down to its foundation!  

 

 

-

8


 

  Daughter of Babylon, who art to be laid waste, happy he that rendereth unto thee that which thou hast meted out to us.  

 

 

-

9


 

  Happy he that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the rock.
