Psalms, Psalm 137

By the rivers of Babylon,
There we sat down and wept,
When we remembered Zion.

Upon the^awillows in the midst of it
We hung our^bharps.

For there our captors^cdemanded of us^dsongs,
And our tormentors mirth, saying,
“Sing us one of the songs of Zion.”

⁴

How can we sing the LORD’S song
In a foreign land?

⁵

If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
May my right hand^eforget her skill.

⁶

May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
If I do not remember you,
If I do not^fexalt Jerusalem
Above my chief joy.

⁷

Remember, O LORD, against the sons of Edom
The day of Jerusalem,
Who said, “Raze it, raze it
To its very foundation.”

⁸

O daughter of Babylon, you^gdevastated one,
How blessed will be the one who repays you
With^hthe recompense with which you have repaid us.

⁹

How blessed will be the one who seizes and dashes your little ones
Against the rock.
