Psalm 137

Psa 137:1	¶	By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
Psa 137:2		We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
Psa 137:3		For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us [required of us] mirth, [saying], Sing us [one] of the songs of Zion.
Psa 137:4		How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strange land?
Psa 137:5		If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget [her cunning].
Psa 137:6		If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
Psa 137:7		Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase [it], rase [it, even] to the foundation thereof.
Psa 137:8		O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy [shall he be], that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
Psa 137:9		Happy [shall he be], that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
