Psalm 137

Septuagint Bible w/ Apocrypha LXX

1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat; and wept when we remembered Sion.

2 We hung our harps on the willows in the midst of it.

3 For there they that had taken us captive asked of us the words of a song; and they that had carried us away asked a hymn, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Sion.

4 How should we sing the Lord’s song in a strange land?

5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill.

6 May my tongue cleave to my throat, if I do not remember thee; if I do not prefer Jerusalem as the chief of my joy.

7 Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to its foundations.

8 Wretched daughter of Babylon! blessed shall he be who shall reward thee as thou hast rewarded us.

9 Blessed shall he be who shall seize and dash thine infants against the rock.

New International Version NIV

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

2 There on the poplars we hung our harps,

3 for there our captors asked us for songs, our tormentors demanded songs of joy; they said, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”

4 How can we sing the songs of the LORD while in a foreign land?

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

6 May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy.

7 Remember, LORD, what the Edomites did on the day Jerusalem fell. “Tear it down,” they cried, “tear it down to its foundations!”

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

9 Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.
