Psalms 137

1 The constancy of the Jews in captivity. 7 The prophet curseth Edom and Babel.

 137:1 ¶ By x5921 the rivers 5104 of Babylon, 894 there x8033 we sat down, 3427 z8804 yea, x1571 we wept, 1058 z8804 when we remembered 2142 z8800 x853 Zion. 6726

 137:2 We hanged 8518 z8804 our harps 3658 upon x5921 the willows 6155 in the midst 8432 thereof.

 137:3 For x3588 there x8033 they that carried us away captive 7617 z8802 required 7592 z8804 of us a song; 1697 7892 and they that wasted 8437 us [required of us] mirth, 8057 [saying], Sing 7891 z8798 us [one] of the songs 7892 x4480 of Zion. 6726

 137:4 How x349 shall we sing 7891 z8799 x853 the LORD'S 3068 song 7892 in x5921 a strange 5236 land? 127

 137:5 If x518 I forget 7911 z8799 thee, O Jerusalem, 3389 let my right hand 3225 forget 7911 z8799 [her cunning].

 137:6 If x518 I do not x3808 remember 2142 z8799 thee, let my tongue 3956 cleave 1692 z8799 to the roof of my mouth; 2441 if x518 I prefer 5927 z8686 not x3808 x853 Jerusalem 3389 above x5921 my chief 7218 joy. 8057

 137:7 Remember, 2142 z8798 O LORD, 3068 the children 1121 of Edom 123 x853 in the day 3117 of Jerusalem; 3389 who said, 559 z8802 Rase 6168 z8761 [it], rase 6168 z8761 [it, even] to x5704 the foundation 3247 thereof.

 137:8 O daughter 1323 of Babylon, 894 who art to be destroyed; 7703 z8803 happy 835 [shall he be], that rewardeth 7999 z8762 x7945 thee as x854 x1576 thou hast served 1580 z8804 y1576 x7945 us.

 137:9 Happy 835 [shall he be], that taketh 270 z8799 x7945 and dasheth 5310 z8765 x853 thy little ones 5768 against x413 the stones. 5553
