Psalm 137

American Standard Version 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.

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

1 By the rivers of Babylon- there we sat down and wept when we remembered Zion.

2 There we hung up our lyres on the poplar trees,

3 for our captors there asked us for songs, and our tormentors, for rejoicing: "Sing us one of the songs of Zion."

4 How can we sing the Lord's song on foreign soil?

5 If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand forget [its skill].

6 May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not exalt Jerusalem as my greatest joy!

7 Remember, Lord, [what] the Edomites said that day at Jerusalem: "Destroy it! Destroy it down to its foundations!"

8 Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is the one who pays you back what you have done to us.

9 Happy is he who takes your little ones and dashes them against the rocks.
