Psalm 137 - Revised Version with Apocrypha 1895 Revised Version with Apocrypha 1895
Psalm 137

¹ By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept, When we remembered Zion.

² Upon the willows in the midst thereof We hanged up our harps

³ 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 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 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 LORD, 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 art to be destroyed; Happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee As thou hast served us.

⁹ Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones Against the rock.
