Psalms 137 — ASV

137Verse 1By the rivers of Babylon,
There we sat down, yea, we wept,
When we remembered Zion.
^{Verse 2}Upon the willows in the midst thereof
We hanged up our harps.
^{Verse 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.
^{Verse 4}How shall we sing Jehovah’s song
In a foreign land?
^{Verse 5}If I forget thee, O Jerusalem,
Let my right hand forget her skill.
^{Verse 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.
^{Verse 7}Remember, O Jehovah, against the children of Edom
The day of Jerusalem;
Who said, Rase it, rase it,
Even to the foundation thereof.
^{Verse 8}O daughter of Babylon, that art to be destroyed,
Happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee
As thou hast served us.
^{Verse 9}Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones
Against the rock.
