【Psalms】Psalm 137 << Last Chapter Next Chapter >>

137:1 By the rivers of Babylon we sat mourning and weeping when we remembered Zion.

137:2 On the poplars of that land we hung up our harps.

137:3 There our captors asked us for the words of a song; Our tormentors, for ajoyful song: "Sing for us a song of Zion!"

137:4 But how could we sing a song of the LORD in a foreign land?II

137:5 If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand wither.

137:6 May my tongue stick to my palate if I do not remember you, If I do not exaltJerusalem beyond all my delights.III

137:7 Remember, LORD, against Edom that day at Jerusalem. They said: "Level it,level it down to its foundations!"

137:8 Fair Babylon, you destroyer, happy those who pay you back the evil you havedone us!

137:9 Happy those who seize your children and smash them against a rock.
