Psalms 137

An Experience of the Captivity.

1 By the (a)rivers of Babylon,
There we sat down and (b)wept,
When we remembered Zion.
2 Upon the [a](c)willows in the midst of it
We (d)hung our [b]harps.
3 For there our captors [c](e)demanded of us [d]songs,
And (f)our tormentors mirth, saying,
"Sing us one of the songs of Zion."

4 How can we sing (g)the Lord's song
In a foreign land?
5 If I (h)forget you, O Jerusalem,
May my right hand [e]forget her skill.
6 May my (i)tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
If I do not remember you,
If I do not [f](j)exalt Jerusalem
Above my chief joy.

7 Remember, O Lord, against the sons of (k)Edom
The day of Jerusalem,
Who said, "Raze it, raze it
(l)To its very foundation."
8 O daughter of Babylon, you [g](m)devastated one,
How blessed will be the one who (n)repays you
With [h]the recompense with which you have repaid us.
9 How blessed will be the one who seizes and (o)dashes your little ones
Against the rock.
