Psalms 137:1-9 — By the Rivers of Babylon
Ps.137.1-9
1By the rivers of Babylon , there we sat down and wept, when we remembered Zion. 2On the willows in its midst, we hung up our harps. 3For there our captors asked us for songs, and our tormentors demanded joy, saying, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!” 4How can we sing the LORD's song in a foreign land? 5If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill! 6Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth, if I do not remember you, if I do not exalt Jerusalem above my highest joy! 7Remember, O LORD, against the sons of Edom, the day of Jerusalem ; who said, “Tear it down, tear it down, even to its foundation!” 8O Daughter of Babylon , doomed to destruction, blessed is the one who repays you for what you have done to us! 9Blessed is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rock !
