PSALM 137

By the rivers of Babylon, there we satdown, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

We hanged out harps upon the willows in our midst thereof.

For there they that carried us awaycaptive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth,saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

How shall we sing the Lord’s song in a strange land?

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.

If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth;if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.

Remember, O Lord, the children ofEdom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundationthereof.

O daughter of Babylon, who are to bedestroyed; happy shall he be, thatrewardeth thee as thou hast served us.Happy shall he be, that taketh anddasheth thy little ones against the stones.
