Psalm 137
Lumin Translation 2.0 checked against the Hebrew and Greek How it was made
1By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down and wept when we remembered Zion.
2On the poplars there we hung up our lyres.
3For there our captors asked us for songs, and our tormentors demanded joy: “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”
4How can we sing the song of Yahweh in a foreign land?
5If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill.
6May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not set Jerusalem above my highest joy.
7Remember, Yahweh, against the people of Edom the day of Jerusalem, how they said, “Tear it down, tear it down to its foundations!”
8Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction, blessed is the one who pays you back for what you have done to us.
9Blessed is the one who seizes your little ones and dashes them against the rock.
