Ps 137
1
Alex. omits For David, a Psalm of Jeremias. By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat; and wept
when we remembered Sion.
2
We hung our Gr. organs, or, instruments harps on the willows in the midst of it.
3
For there they that had taken us captive asked of us the words of a song; and they
that had carried us away asked a hymn, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Sion.
4
How should we sing the Lord’s song Gr. on in a strange land?
5
If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill.
6
May my tongue cleave to my throat, if I do not remember you; if I do not prefer Jerusalem
as the chief of my joy.
7
Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Gr. empty, empty Rase it, rase it, even to its foundations.
8
Wretched daughter of Babylon! blessed shall he be who shall reward you as you have
rewarded us.
9
Blessed shall he be who shall seize and dash your infants against the rock.
