NASB Bible

Psalms 137

An Experience of the Captivity.

1

By the  arivers of Babylon, There we sat down and  bwept, When we remembered Zion.

2

Upon the  1 awillows in the midst of it We  bhung our  2harps.

3

For there our captors  1 ademanded of us  2songs, And  bour tormentors mirth, saying, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion."

4

How can we sing  athe LORD'S song In a foreign land?

5

If I  aforget you, O Jerusalem, May my right hand  1forget her skill.

6

May my  atongue cling to the roof of my mouth If I do not remember you, If I do not  1 bexalt Jerusalem Above my chief joy.

7

Remember, O LORD, against the sons of  aEdom The day of Jerusalem, Who said, "Raze it, raze it  bTo its very foundation."

8

O daughter of Babylon, you  1 adevastated one, How blessed will be the one who  brepays you With  2the recompense with which you have repaid us.

9

How blessed will be the one who seizes and  adashes your little ones Against the rock.
