137:1 By
the
rivers
of
Babylon,
There
we
sat
down,
yea,
we
wept,
When
we
remembered
Zion.
137:2 Upon
the
willows
in
the
midst
thereof
We
hanged
up
our
harps.
137:3 For
there
they
that
led
us
captive
required
of
us
songs,
And
they
that
wasted
us
[required
of
us]
mirth,
[saying],
Sing
us
one
of
the
songs
of
Zion.
137:4 How
shall
we
sing
Jehovah's
song
In
a
foreign
land
137:5 If
I
forget
thee,
O
Jerusalem,
Let
my
right
hand
forget
[her
skill].
137:6 Let
my
tongue
cleave
to
the
roof
of
my
mouth,
If
I
remember
thee
not;
If
I
prefer
not
Jerusalem
Above
my
chief
joy.
137:7 Remember,
O
Jehovah,
against
the
children
of
Edom
The
day
of
Jerusalem;
Who
said,
Rase
it,
rase
it,
Even
to
the
foundation
thereof.
137:8 O
daughter
of
Babylon,
that
art
to
be
destroyed,
Happy
shall
he
be,
that
rewardeth
thee
As
thou
hast
served
us.
137:9 Happy
shall
he
be,
that
taketh
and
dasheth
thy
little
ones
Against
the
rock.
