Psalms 137

1 At [the] rivers of - Babylon there we sat also we wept when remembered we Zion.

By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept, When we remembered Zion.

2 On poplars in [the] midst of it we hung up harps our.

Upon the willows in the midst thereof We hanged up our harps.

3 For there they asked us captors our words of a song and mockers our gladness sing for us one of [the] song[s] of Zion.

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.

4 How? will we sing [the] song of Yahweh on ground of foreignness.

How shall we sing Jehovah’s song In a foreign land?

5 If I will forget you O Jerusalem may it forget right [hand] my.

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, Let my right hand forget [her skill].

6 May it cleave tongue my - to palate my if not I will remember you if not I will lift up Jerusalem above [the] chief of joy my.

Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, If I remember thee not; If I prefer not Jerusalem Above my chief joy.

7 Remember O Yahweh - to [the] people of Edom [the] day of Jerusalem who were saying lay bare - lay bare to the foundation in it.

Remember, O Jehovah, against the children of Edom The day of Jerusalem; Who said, Rase it, rase it, Even to the foundation thereof.

8 O daughter of Babylon that is about to be destroyed how blessed! [is one] who he will repay to you dealing your that you dealt to us.

O daughter of Babylon, that art to be destroyed, Happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee As thou hast served us.

9 How blessed! - [is one] who he will seize and he will smash children your to the rock.

Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones Against the rock.
