PSALM 137
1By the
rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. 2
We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. 3 For
there they that carried us away captive required of us a songa;
and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one
of the songs of Zion. 4 How shall we sing the LORD’S song in a
strangeb
land? 5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her
cunning. 6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to
the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chiefc
joy.
7Remember,
O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it,
rase it, even to the foundation thereof. 8 O daughter of
Babylon, who art to be destroyedd; happy shall he be, that
rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. 9 Happy shall he be,
that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stonese.
