Psalm 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.
