By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion (137:1)

We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof (137:2)

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 (137:3)

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning (137:5)

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 (137:6)

Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Raze it, raze it, even to the foundation thereof (137:7)
