Chapter 137
1By the rivers of Babylon we sat down and wept when we remembered Zion.
2On the willows in her midst we hung our lyres.
3For there our captors asked us for words of song, and our tormentors asked for joy: Sing for us from the songs of Zion.
4How can we sing the song of the LORD upon foreign land?
5If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand forget.
6May my tongue cling to my palate if I do not remember you, if I do not raise Jerusalem upon the head of my joy.
7Remember, O LORD, against the sons of Edom the day of Jerusalem, when they said, Raze, raze, down to the foundation in her.
8O daughter of Babylon, the ruined one, blessed is the one who repays you your recompense that you dealt to us.
9Blessed is the one who seizes and shatters your infants against the rock.
