AB - Psalms - 137

137:1  For David, A Psalm of Jeremiah. By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat; and wept when we remembered Zion.

137:2  We hung our harps on the willows in the midst of it.

137:3  For there they that had taken us captive asked of us the words of a song; and they that had carried us away asked a hymn, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

137:4  How should we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?

137:5  If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill.

137:6  May my tongue cleave to my throat, if I do not remember you; if I do not prefer Jerusalem as the chief of my joy.

137:7  Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Raze it, raze it, even to its foundations.

137:8  Wretched daughter of Babylon! Blessed shall he be who shall reward you as you have rewarded us.

137:9  Blessed shall he be who shall seize and dash your infants against the rock.
