Psalm 137 - American Standard Version 2015 American Standard Version 2015
Psalm 137

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

² Upon the willows in the midst thereof\par\tab We hanged up our harps.

³ For there they that led us captive required of us songs,\par\tab And they that wasted us {\i required of us} mirth, {\i saying},\par\tab Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

⁴ How shall we sing Jehovah's song\par\tab In a foreign land?

⁵ If I forget thee, O Jerusalem,\par\tab Let my right hand forget {\i her skill}.

⁶ Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth,\par\tab If I remember thee not;\par\tab If I prefer not Jerusalem\par\tab Above my chief joy.

⁷ Remember, O Jehovah, against the children of Edom\par\tab The day of Jerusalem;\par\tab Who said, Rase it, rase it,\par\tab Even to the foundation thereof.

⁸ O daughter of Babylon, that art to be destroyed,\par\tab Happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee\par\tab As thou hast served us.

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