Psalms 137: (ASV)
|
1) By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept, When we remembered Zion.
|
2) Upon the willows in the midst thereof We hanged up our harps.
|
3) For there they that led us captive required of us songs, And they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
|
4) How shall we sing Jehovah's song In a foreign land?
|
5) If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, Let my right hand forget her skill.
|
6) Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, If I remember thee not; If I prefer not Jerusalem Above my chief joy.
|
7) Remember, O Jehovah, against the children of Edom The day of Jerusalem; Who said, Rase it, rase it, Even to the foundation thereof.
|
8) O daughter of Babylon, that art to be destroyed, Happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee As thou hast served us.
|
9) Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones Against the rock.
