137:1  By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we
wept, when we remembered Zion.
 137:2  We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst
thereof.
 137:3  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.
 137:4  How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?
 137:5  If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget
[her cunning].
 137:6  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.
 137:7  Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of
Jerusalem; who said, Raze [it], raze [it, even] to the
foundation thereof.
 137:8  O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy
[shall he be], that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
 137:9  Happy [shall he be], that taketh and dasheth thy little
ones against the stones.
