“1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we
remembered Zion. 2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst
thereof. 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. 4 How shall we sing the LORD’S song in a
strange land? 5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget
[her cunning]. 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.”
“7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who
said, Rase [it], rase [it, even] to the foundation thereof. 8 O daughter
of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy [shall he be], that rewardeth
thee as thou hast served us. 9 Happy [shall he be], that taketh and
dasheth thy little ones against the stones.” (Psalm 137:1-9 AV)
