[[Psalm 136|<< Psalm 136]] | [[Psalms|Psalms]] | [[Psalm 138|Psalm 138 >>]] ### Psalm 137 1 BY the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. ^1 2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. ^2 3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us _required_ _of_ _us_ mirth, _saying_, Sing us _one_ of the songs of Zion. ^3 4 How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land? ^4 5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget _her_ _cunning_. ^5 6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. ^6 7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase _it_, rase _it_, _even_ to the foundation thereof. ^7 8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy _shall_ _he_ _be_, that rewards thee as thou hast served us. ^8 9 Happy _shall_ _he_ _be_, that takes and dashes thy little ones against the stones. ^9
