Psalm 137 (King James Version)
View In My Bible
1
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down , yea, we wept , when we remembered Zion.
2
We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
3
For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song ;a and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
4
How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strangeb land?
5
If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
6
If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chiefc joy.
7
Remember , O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said , Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.
8
O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed ;d 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 stones.e
