^1. Psalm 137

^1. By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion.

^2. There on the poplars we hung our harps,

^3. for there our captors asked us for songs, our tormentors demanded songs of joy; they said, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion!"

^4. How can we sing the songs of the LORD while in a foreign land?

^5. If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget [its skill].

^6. May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy.

^7. Remember, O LORD, what the Edomites did on the day Jerusalem fell. "Tear it down," they cried, "tear it down to its foundations!"

^8. O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us--

^9. he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.
