📖 Psalms 137
-
1
By the rivers of Babylon we sit down and weep when we remember Zion.
-
2
On the poplars in her midst we hang our harps,
-
3
for there our captors ask us to compose songs; those who mock us demand that we be happy, saying:“Sing for us a song about Zion!”
-
4
How can we sing a song to the LORD in a foreign land?
-
5
If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand be crippled!
-
6
May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth, if I do not remember you, and do not give Jerusalem priority over whatever gives me the most joy.
-
7
Remember, O LORD, what the Edomites did on the day Jerusalem fell. They said,“Tear it down, tear it down, right to its very foundation!”
-
8
O daughter Babylon, soon to be devastated! How blessed will be the one who repays you for what you dished out to us!
-
9
How blessed will be the one who grabs your babies and smashes them on a rock!
