Psalms.

|
Chapter 137.
|
|||
|
|
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down. Yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
|
|||
|
|
On the willows in that land, we hung up our harps.
|
|||
|
|
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!”
|
|||
|
|
How can we sing Yahweh’s song in a foreign land?
|
|||
|
|
If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill.
|
|||
|
|
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.
|
|||
|
|
Remember, Yahweh, against the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem, who said, “Raze it! Raze it even to its foundation!”
|
|||
|
|
Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, he will be happy who repays you, as you have done to us.
|
|||
|
|
Happy shall he be, who takes and dashes your little ones against the rock.
