Psalms Chapter[BR] 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.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 137

4 How should we sing the Lord’s song *Gr. on in a strange land?

5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill.

6 May my tongue cleave to my throat, if I do not remember thee; 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.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 137

8 Wretched daughter of Babylon! blessed shall he be who shall reward thee as thou hast rewarded us.

9 Blessed shall he be who shall seize and dash thine infants against the rock.
