Psalm 137 Text (WEB)
|
- By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down. Yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
- On the willows in its midst, we hung up our harps.
- For there, those who led us captive asked us for songs. Those who tormented us demanded songs of joy: "Sing us one of the songs of Zion!"
- How can we sing Yahweh's song in a foreign land?
- If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill.
- Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don't remember you; if I don't prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy.
- Remember, Yahweh, against the children of Edom, the day of Jerusalem; who said, "Raze it! Raze it even to its foundation!"
- Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, he will be happy who rewards you, as you have served us.
- Happy shall he be, who takes and dashes your little ones against the rock. By David.

Psalm 137 Text (Hebrew)
|
- על נהרות בבל שם ישבנו גם־בכינו בזכרנו את־ציון׃
- על־ערבים בתוכה תלינו כנרותינו׃
- כי שם שאלונו שובינו דברי־שיר ותוללינו שמחה שירו לנו משיר ציון׃
- איך נשיר את־שיר־יהוה על אדמת נכר׃
- אם־אשכחך ירושלם תשכח ימיני׃
- תדבק־לשוני לחכי אם־לא אזכרכי אם־לא אעלה את־ירושלם על ראש שמחתי׃
- זכר יהוה לבני אדום את יום ירושלם האמרים ערו ערו עד היסוד בה׃
- בת־בבל השדודה אשרי שישלם־לך את־גמולך שגמלת לנו׃
- אשרי שיאחז ונפץ את־עלליך אל־הסלע׃

Psalm 137 Text (Latin)
|
- Psalmus David, Jeremiæ. Super flumina Babylonis illic sedimus et flevimus, cum recordaremur Sion.
- In salicibus in medio ejus suspendimus organa nostra ;
- quia illic interrogaverunt nos, qui captivos duxerunt nos, verba cantionum ; et qui abduxerunt nos : Hymnum cantate nobis de canticis Sion.
- Quomodo cantabimus canticum Domini in terra aliena ?
- Si oblitus fuero tui, Jerusalem, oblivioni detur dextera mea.
- Adhæreat lingua mea faucibus meis, si non meminero tui ; si non proposuero Jerusalem in principio lætitiæ meæ.
- Memor esto, Domine, filiorum Edom, in die Jerusalem, qui dicunt : Exinanite, exinanite usque ad fundamentum in ea.
- Filia Babylonis misera ! beatus qui retribuet tibi retributionem tuam quam retribuisti nobis.
- Beatus qui tenebit, et allidet parvulos tuos ad petram.

Psalm 137 Text (KJV)
|
- By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
- We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
- For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
- How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?
- If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
- If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
- Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.
- O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
- Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
