Psalms 137

Psalm 137
1Alongside Babylon’s streams,
there we sat down,
crying because we remembered Zion.
2We hung our lyres up
in the trees there
3because that’s where our captors asked us to sing;
our tormentors requested songs of joy:
“Sing us a song about Zion!” they said.
4But how could we possibly sing
the LORD’s song on foreign soil?
5Jerusalem! If I forget you,
let my strong hand wither!
6Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth
if I don’t remember you,
if I don’t make Jerusalem my greatest joy.
7 LORD, remember what the Edomites did
on Jerusalem’s dark day:
“Rip it down, rip it down!
All the way to its foundations!” they yelled.
8Daughter Babylon, you destroyer,#137.8 Sym, Tg, Syr; MT the devastated
a blessing on the one who pays you back
the very deed you did to us!
9A blessing on the one who seizes your children
and smashes them against the rock!
