PS-137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we

wept, when we

remembered Zion.

PS-137:2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst

thereof.

PS-137:3 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.

PS-137:4 How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?

PS-137:5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget

[her

cunning].

PS-137:6 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.

PS-137:7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of

Jerusalem; who

said, Raze [it], raze [it, even] to the foundation thereof.

PS-137:8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy

[shall he be],

that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.

PS-137:9 Happy [shall he be], that taketh and dasheth thy little

ones against

the stones.
