Psalms 137

1 For David,a Psalm of Jeremias. By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat; and wept when we remembered Sion.
2 We hung our harps on the willows in the midst of it.
3 For there they that had taken us captive asked of us the words of a song; and theythat had carried us awayasked a hymn,saying, Sing usone of the songs of Sion.
4 How should we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?
5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forgetits skill.
6 May my tongue cleave to my throat, if I do not remember you; if I do not preferJerusalem as the chief of my joy.
7 Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Raseit, raseit, even to its foundations.
8 Wretched daughter of Babylon! blessedshall he be who shall reward you as you have rewarded us.
9 Blessedshall he be who shall seize and dash your infants against the rock.
