Psalms:137
Seeker Overlay ON
*
By the waters of Babylon ,
there we sat down and wept ,
when we remembered Zion .
*
On the willows there we hung up our lyres .
*
For there our captors required of us songs ,
and our tormentors ,
mirth ,
saying , "
Sing us one of the songs of Zion !"
*
How shall we sing the LORD '
s song in a foreign land ?
*
If I forget you ,
O Jerusalem ,
let my right hand wither !
*
Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth ,
if I do not remember you ,
if I do not set Jerusalem above my highest joy !
*
Remember ,
O LORD ,
against the E '
domites the day of Jerusalem ,
how they said , "
Rase it ,
rase it !
Down to its foundations !"
*
O daughter of Babylon ,
you devastator !
Happy shall he be who requites you with what you have done to us !
*
Happy shall he be who takes your little ones and dashes them against the rock !
