137:1 By
rivers
of
Babylon--There
we
did
sit,
Yea,
we
wept
when
we
remembered
Zion.
137:2 On
willows
in
its
midst
we
hung
our
harps.
137:3 For
there
our
captors
asked
us
the
words
of
a
song,
And
our
spoilers--joy:
`Sing
ye
to
us
of
a
song
of
Zion.'
137:4 How
do
we
sing
the
song
of
Jehovah,
On
the
land
of
a
stranger
137:5 If
I
forget
thee,
O
Jerusalem,
my
right
hand
forgetteth!
137:6 My
tongue
doth
cleave
to
my
palate,
If
I
do
not
remember
thee,
If
I
do
not
exalt
Jerusalem
above
my
chief
joy.
137:7 Remember,
Jehovah,
for
the
sons
of
Edom,
The
day
of
Jerusalem,
Those
saying,
`Rase,
rase
to
its
foundation!'
137:8 O
daughter
of
Babylon,
O
destroyed
one,
O
the
happiness
of
him
who
repayeth
to
thee
thy
deed,
That
thou
hast
done
to
us.
137:9 O
the
happiness
of
him
who
doth
seize,
And
hath
dashed
thy
sucklings
on
the
rock!
