137Psalms · Jewish Publication Society OT (1917)

¹By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. Notes

²Upon the willows in the midst thereof we hanged up our harps.

³For there they that led us captive asked of us words of song, and our tormentors asked of us mirth: 'Sing us one of the songs of Zion.'

⁴How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a foreign land?

⁵If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.

⁶Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I remember thee not; if I set not Jerusalem above my chiefest joy.

⁷Remember, O LORD, against the children of Edom the day of Jerusalem; who said: 'Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.'

⁸O daughter of Babylon, that art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that repayeth thee as thou hast served us.

⁹Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the rock. Notes
