Psalms — World English Bible

თავი 137

1. 1
   By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down. Yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
2. 2
   On the willows in that land, we hung up our harps.
3. 3
   For there, those who led us captive asked us for songs. Those who tormented us demanded songs of joy: “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”
4. 4
   How can we sing the LORD’s song in a foreign land?
5. 5
   If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill.
6. 6
   Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don’t remember you, if I don’t prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy.
7. 7
   Remember, LORD, against the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem, who said, “Raze it! Raze it even to its foundation!”
8. 8
   Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, he will be happy who repays you, as you have done to us.
9. 9
   Happy shall he be, who takes and dashes your little ones against the rock.
