# Psalm 137 
<a id="1" name="1"></a>
1. By the waters of Babylon, there we sat down and wept, when we remembered Zion. 
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
2. On the willows there we hung up our lyres. 
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
3. For there our captors required of us songs, and our tormentors, mirth, saying, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!” 
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
4. How shall we sing the LORD’s song in a foreign land? 
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
5. If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill! 
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
6. Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth, if I do not remember you, if I do not set Jerusalem above my highest joy! 
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
7. Remember, O LORD, against the Edomites the day of Jerusalem, how they said, “Lay it bare, lay it bare, down to its foundations!” 
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
8. O daughter of Babylon, doomed to be destroyed, blessed shall he be who repays you with what you have done to us! 
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
9. Blessed shall he be who takes your little ones and dashes them against the rock!
