Bible, King James Version
Psalms
Pss.137
[1] By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we
wept, when we remembered Zion.
[2] We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst
thereof.
[3] For there they that carried us away captive required
of us a song; 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] If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the
roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief
joy.
[7] Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of
Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation
thereof.
[8] O daughter of Babylon, who 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 stones.
