Psalms 137

1 By the waters of Babylon we sat downe and weapte, when we remembred Syon. 2 As for our harpes, we hanged them vpon the trees, that are therin. 3 Then they that led vs awaye captyue, requyred of vs a songe and melody in our heauynes: synge vs one of the songes of Syon. 4 How shall we synge the Lordes songe in a straunge land? 5 If I forget the, O Ierusalem, let my right hande be forgotten. 6 If I do not remember the, lette my tonge cleue to the rofe of my mouth: yea, if I preferre not Ierusalem in my myrth. 7 Remember the children of Edom, O Lorde in the daye of Ierusalem, howe they sayde: doune wyth it, doune wyth it: euen to the grounde. 8 O daughter of Babilon, thou shalt come to mysery thyselfe: yea, happye shall he be, that rewardeth the as thou hast serued vs. 9 Blessed shall he be, that taketh thy chyldren, and throweth them agaynst the stones.
