Psalms 137How Shall We Sing The Lord's Song?
King James Version
1 By the rivers of Babylon,
there we sat down, yea, we wept,
when we remembered Zion.
2 We hanged our harpswhen we remembered Zion.
upon the willows in the midst thereof.
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.
saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
4 How shall we sing the Lord's song
in a strange land?
5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem,let my right hand forget her cunning.
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.
if I prefer not Jerusalem
above my chief joy.
7 Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom
in the day of Jerusalem;
who said, Rase it, rase it,
even to the foundation thereof.
who said, Rase it, rase it,
even to the foundation thereof.
8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed;
happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheththy little ones against the stones.
