| 137:1 | By the rivers5104 of Babylon,894 there we sat down,3427 yea, we wept,1058 when we remembered2142 Zion.6726 | |
| 137:2 | We hanged8518 our harps3658 upon the willows6155 in the midst8432 thereof. | |
| 137:3 | For there they that carried us away captive7617 required7592 of us a song;1697 and they that wasted8437 us required of us mirth,8057 saying, Sing7891 us one of the songs7892 of Zion.6726 | |
| 137:4 | How shall we sing7891 Yahweh's3068 song7892 in a strange5236 land?127 | |
| 137:5 | If I forget7911 thee, O Jerusalem,3389 let my right hand3225 forget7911 her cunning. | |
| 137:6 | If I do not remember2142 thee, let my tongue3956 cleave1692 to the roof of my mouth;2441 if I prefer5927 not Jerusalem3389 above my chief7218 joy.8057 | |
| 137:7 | Remember,2142 O Yahweh,3068 the children1121 of Edom123 in the day3117 of Jerusalem;3389 who said,559 Rase6168 it, rase6168 it, even to the foundation3247 thereof. | |
| 137:8 | O daughter1323 of Babylon,894 who art to be destroyed;7703 happy835 shall he be, that rewardeth7999 thee as thou hast served1580 us. | |
| 137:9 | Happy835 shall he be, that taketh270 and dasheth5310 thy little ones5768 against the stones.5553 |
