Psalms 137

1 The constancy of the Jews in captivity. 7 The prophet curseth Edom and Babel.

 137:1 By the rivers 5104 of Babylon 894, There 8033 we sat 3427 down 3427 and wept 1058, When we remembered 2142 Zion 6726.

 137:2 Upon the willows 6155 in the midst 8432 of it We hung 8518 our harps 3658.

 137:3 For there 8033 our captors 7617 demanded 7592 of us songs 1697 7892a, And our tormentors 8437 mirth 8057, [saying], “Sing 7891 us one of the songs 7892a of Zion 6726.”

 137:4 ¶ How 349 can we sing 7891 the LORD’S 3068 song 7892a In a foreign 5236 land 127?

 137:5 If 518 I forget 7911 you, O Jerusalem 3389, May my right 3225 hand 3225 forget 7911 [her skill].

 137:6 May my tongue 3956 cling 1692 to the roof 2441 of my mouth 2441 If 518 I do not remember 2142 you, If 518 I do not exalt 5927 Jerusalem 3389 Above 5921 my chief 7218 joy 8057.

 137:7 ¶ Remember 2142, O LORD 3068, against the sons 1121 of Edom 112b The day 3117 of Jerusalem 3389, Who said 559, “Raze 6168 it, raze 6168 it To its very foundation 3247.”

 137:8 O daughter 1323 of Babylon 894, you devastated 7703 one, How blessed 835 will be the one who 7945 repays 7999a you With the recompense 1576 with which 7945 you have repaid 1580 us.

 137:9 How blessed 835 will be the one who 7945 seizes 270 and dashes 5310a your little 5768 ones 5768 Against 413 the rock 5553.
