| # Chapter 137
#### 1 | By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept, When we remembered Zion.
#### 2 | Upon the willows in the midst thereof We hanged up our harps.
#### 3 | For there they that led us captive required of us songs, And they that wasted us [required of us] mirth, [saying], Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
#### 4 | How shall we sing Jehovah's song In a foreign land?
#### 5 | If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, Let my right hand forget [her skill].
#### 6 | Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, If I remember thee not; If I prefer not Jerusalem Above my chief joy.
#### 7 | Remember, O Jehovah, against the children of Edom The day of Jerusalem; Who said, Rase it, rase it, Even to the foundation thereof.
#### 8 | O daughter of Babylon, that art to be destroyed, Happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee As thou hast served us.
#### 9 | Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones Against the rock. Psalm 138 A [Psalm] of David.
