Psalm

Chapter 137

New King James Version

1By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept When we remembered Zion. 2We hung our harps Upon the willows in the midst of it. 3For there those who carried us away captive asked of us a song, And those who plundered us [requested] mirth, [Saying,] "Sing us [one] of the songs of Zion!" 4How shall we sing the LORD's song In a foreign land? 5If I forget you, O Jerusalem, Let my right hand forget [its skill!] 6If I do not remember you, Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth -- If I do not exalt Jerusalem Above my chief joy. 7Remember, O LORD, against the sons of Edom The day of Jerusalem, Who said, "Raze [it,] raze [it,] To its very foundation!" 8O daughter of Babylon, who are to be destroyed, Happy the one who repays you as you have served us! 9Happy the one who takes and dashes Your little ones against the rock!
