3 For there they that led vs away captiue required of vs some matter of a song: and for our waylynges myrth, saying sing vs one of the songes of Sion. 4 He aunswered howe can we sing one of the songes of God: in another lande besides our owne? 5 If I forget thee O Hierusalem: let my right hande forget her cunning. 6 Let my tongue cleaue to the roofe of my mouth, if I do not remember thee: yea if I preferre not thee O Hierusalem aboue my most myrth. 7 Remember the chyldren of Edom in the day of Hierusalem: they sayde, downe with it, downe with it, euen to the grounde. 8 O daughter of Babylon who must lye wasted: happy shall he be that rewardeth thee as thou hast serued vs. 9 Blessed shall he be: that taketh & throweth thy litle children against the stone. Psalms 137:3-9, Bishops' Bible of 1568. Public domain.
