Psalms 137 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down; yea, we wept when we remembered Zion.

Darby⁽ⁱ⁾ 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 made us wail [required] mirth, [saying,] Sing us [one] of the songs of Zion. ⁴ How should we sing a song of Jehovah`s upon a foreign soil? ⁵ If I forget thee, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget [its skill]; ⁶ If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to my palate: if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. ⁷ Remember, O Jehovah, against the sons of Edom, the day of Jerusalem; who said, Lay [it] bare, Lay [it] bare, down to its foundation! ⁸ Daughter of Babylon, who art to be laid waste, happy he that rendereth unto thee that which thou hast meted out to us. ⁹ Happy he that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the rock.
