Psa.|137:1|-|By the |a|rivers of Babylon,There we sat down; indeed, we |b|wept
When we |1|remembered |c|Zion.
Psa.|137:2|-|On the willows in the midst of itWe hung up our lyres,
Psa.|137:3|-|For there our captors required of us songs,And those who tormented us required of us mirth, saying,
Sing for usOne of the |a|songs of Zion.
Psa.|137:4|-|How can we sing the song of JehovahIn a foreign land?
Psa.|137:5|-|If I |a|forget you, O Jerusalem,Let my right hand forget its skill.
Psa.|137:6|-|Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth,If I do not remember you,
If I do not prefer |a|JerusalemAbove my chief joy.
Psa.|137:7|-|Remember, O Jehovah,|1|Against the children of |a|Edom,
The day of Jerusalem,Who said, Lay it bare! Lay it bare,
Down to its foundation!
Psa.|137:8|-|O daughter of Babylon, who are to be devastated,Happy will he be who |a|repays you
The recompense of what you have rendered to us.
Psa.|137:9|-|Happy will he be who seizes your little onesAnd dashes them against the rock.
