Psalms 137 NASB

1. By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down and wept, When we remembered Zion.

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

3. For there our captors demanded of us songs, And our tormentors, jubilation, saying, “Sing for us one of the songs of Zion!”

4. How can we sing the Lord’s song 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 exalt Jerusalem Above my chief joy.

7. Remember, Lord, against the sons of Edom The day of Jerusalem, Those who said, “Lay it bare, lay it bare To its foundation!”

8. Daughter of Babylon, you devastated one, Blessed will be one who repays you With the retribution with which you have repaid us.

9. Blessed will be one who seizes and dashes your children Against the rock.
