137:1 By
the
riuers
of
Babylon,
there
wee
sate
downe,
yea
we
wept:
when
we
remembred
Zion.
137:2 Wee
hanged
our
harpes
vpon
the
willowes,
in
the
midst
thereof.
137:3 For
there
they
that
carried
vs
away
captiue,
required
of
vs
a
song,
and
they
that
wasted
vs,
required
of
vs
mirth:
saying,
Sing
vs
one
of
the
songs
of
Zion.
137:4 How
shall
we
sing
the
Lords
song:
in
a
strange
land
137:5 If
I
forget
thee,
O
Ierusalem:
let
my
right
hand
forget
her
cunning.
137:6 If
I
doe
not
remember
thee,
let
my
tongue
cleaue
to
the
roofe
of
my
mouth;
if
I
preferre
not
Ierusalem
aboue
my
chiefe
ioy.
137:7 Remember,
O
Lord,
the
children
of
Edom,
in
the
day
of
Ierusalem;
who
sayd,
rase
it,
rase
it:
euen
to
the
foundation
thereof.
137:8 O
daughter
of
Babylon,
who
art
to
be
destroyed:
happy
shall
he
be
that
rewardeth
thee,
as
thou
hast
serued
vs.
137:9 Happy
shall
he
be
that
taketh
and
dasheth
thy
little
ones
against
the
stones.
