Psalms - Chapter 137 | American Standard Version

  • 1. By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept, When we remembered Zion.
  • 2. Upon the willows in the midst thereof We hanged up our harps.
  • 3. For there they that led us captive required of us songs, And they that wasted us {cf15i required of us} mirth, {cf15i saying}, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
  • 4. How shall we sing Jehovah's song In a foreign land?
  • 5. If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, Let my right hand forget {cf15i her skill}.
  • 6. Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, If I remember thee not; If I prefer not Jerusalem Above my chief joy.
  • 7. Remember, O Jehovah, against the children of Edom The day of Jerusalem; Who said, Rase it, rase it, Even to the foundation thereof.
  • 8. O daughter of Babylon, that art to be destroyed, 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 rock.
