Chapter 137

1


 

  By rivers of Babylon -- There we did sit, Yea, we wept when we remembered Zion.  

 

 

--

2


 

  On willows in its midst we hung our harps.  

 

 

--

3


 

  For there our captors asked us the words of a song, And our spoilers -- joy: 'Sing ye to us of a song of Zion.'  

 

 

--

4


 

  How do we sing the song of Jehovah, On the land of a stranger?  

 

 

--

5


 

  If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, my right hand forgetteth!  

 

 

--

6


 

  My tongue doth cleave to my palate, If I do not remember thee, If I do not exalt Jerusalem above my chief joy.  

 

 

--

7


 

  Remember, Jehovah, for the sons of Edom, The day of Jerusalem, Those saying, 'Rase, rase to its foundation!'  

 

 

--

8


 

  O daughter of Babylon, O destroyed one, O the happiness of him who repayeth to thee thy deed, That thou hast done to us.  

 

 

--

9


 

  O the happiness of him who doth seize, And hath dashed thy sucklings on the rock!
