Psalms 137:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 By the rivers of Babylon we sit down and weep when we remember Zion.
2 On the poplars in her midst we hang our harps,
3 for there our captors ask us to compose songs; those who mock us demand that we be happy, saying: "Sing for us a song about Zion!"
4 How can we sing a song to the LORD in a foreign land?
5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand be crippled!
6 May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth, if I do not remember you, and do not give Jerusalem priority over whatever gives me the most joy.
7 Remember, O LORD, what the Edomites did on the day Jerusalem fell. They said, "Tear it down, tear it down, right to its very foundation!"
8 O daughter Babylon, soon to be devastated! How blessed will be the one who repays you for what you dished out to us!
9 How blessed will be the one who grabs your babies and smashes them on a rock!
1 By H5921 the rivers H5104 of Babylon, H894 there H8033 we sat down, H3427 yea, H1571 we wept, H1058 when we remembered H2142 H853 Zion. H6726
2 We hanged H8518 our harps H3658 upon H5921 the willows H6155 in the midst H8432 thereof.
3 For H3588 there H8033 they that carried us away captive H7617 required H7592 of us a song H1697 H7892 ; and they that wasted H8437 us required of us mirth, H8057 saying , Sing H7891 us one of the songs H4480 H7892 of Zion. H6726
4 How H349 shall we sing H7891 H853 the LORD's H3068 song H7892 in H5921 a strange H5236 land H127 ?
5 If H518 I forget H7911 thee , O Jerusalem, H3389 let my right hand H3225 forget H7911 her cunning .
6 If H518 I do not H3808 remember H2142 thee , let my tongue H3956 cleave H1692 to the roof of my mouth; H2441 if H518 I prefer H5927 not H3808 H853 Jerusalem H3389 above H5921 my chief H7218 joy. H8057
7 Remember H2142 , O LORD, H3068 the children H1121 of Edom H123 H853 in the day H3117 of Jerusalem; H3389 who said, H559 Raze H6168 it , raze H6168 it, even to H5704 the foundation H3247 thereof.
8 O daughter H1323 of Babylon, H894 who art to be destroyed; H7703 happy H835 shall he be , that rewardeth H7945 H7999 thee as H854 H1576 thou hast served H7945 H1580 us.
9 Happy H835 shall he be , that taketh H7945 H270 and dasheth H5310 H853 thy little ones H5768 against H413 the stones. H5553
