Textus Receptus Bibles
Jay P. Green's Literal Translation 1993
| 137:1 | There by the rivers of Babylon we sat down; also we wept when we remembered Zion. |
| 137:2 | We hung our lyres on the willows in its midst. |
| 137:3 | For there our captors asked us the words of a song; yea, our plunderers asked joy, saying , Sing to us a song of Zion. |
| 137:4 | How shall we sing the song of Jehovah on a foreign soil? |
| 137:5 | If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget; |
| 137:6 | let my tongue cleave to my palate, if I do not remember you, if I do not bring up Jerusalem above the head of my joy. |
| 137:7 | O Jehovah, remember for the sons of Edom the day of Jerusalem; who said, Make it bare! Make it bare even to its foundation! |
| 137:8 | O daughter of Babylon, O destroyed one! Blessed is he who shall repay to you your reward which you rewarded to us. |
| 137:9 | Blessed is he who seizes your little ones and dashes them against the stone! |
