Psalm 137
►
International Standard Version
1
There we sat down and cried— by the rivers of Babylon— as we remembered Zion.
2
On the willows there we hung our harps,
3
for it was there that our captors asked us for songs and our torturers demanded joy from us, "Sing us one of the songs about Zion!"
4
How are we to sing the song of the LORD on foreign soil?
5
If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand cease to function.
6
May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don't remember you, if I don't consider Jerusalem to be more important than my highest joy.
7
Remember the day of Jerusalem's fall, LORD, because of the Edomites, who kept saying, "Tear it down! Tear it right down to its foundations!"
8
Daughter of Babylon! You devastator! How blessed will be the one who pays you back for what you have done to us.
9
How blessed will be the one who seizes your young children and pulverizes them against the cliff!
