Psalms 137 — LSV

137Verse 1By rivers of Babylon—There we sat, || Indeed, we wept when we remembered Zion.^{Verse 2}We hung our harps on willows in its midst.^{Verse 3}For there our captors asked us the words of a song, || And our spoilers—joy: “Sing to us of a song of Zion.”^{Verse 4}How do we sing the song of YHWH, || On the land of a stranger?^{Verse 5}If I forget you, O Jerusalem, my right hand forgets!^{Verse 6}My tongue cleaves to my palate, || If I do not remember you, || If I do not exalt Jerusalem above my chief joy.^{Verse 7}Remember, YHWH, for the sons of Edom, || The day of Jerusalem, || Those saying, “Raze, raze to its foundation!”^{Verse 8}O daughter of Babylon, O destroyed one, || O the blessedness of him who repays to you your deed, || That you have done to us.^{Verse 9}O the blessedness of him who seizes, and has dashed your sucklings on the rock!
