Noah Webster's Bible 1833
137:1 | By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion. |
137:2 | We hung our harps upon the willows in the midst of it. |
137:3 | 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. |
137:4 | How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a foreign land? |
137:5 | If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her skill. |
137:6 | 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. |
137:7 | Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Raze it, raze it, even to its foundation. |
137:8 | O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. |
137:9 | Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones. |
Noah Webster's Bible 1833
While Noah Webster, just a few years after producing his famous Dictionary of the English Language, produced his own modern translation of the English Bible in 1833; the public remained too loyal to the King James Version for Webster’s version to have much impact.
