Youngs Literal Translation |
|
| 137:1 | By the rivers of |
By rivers of Babylon -- There we did sit, Yea, we wept when we remembered Zion. |
| 137:2 | We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. | On willows in its midst we hung our harps. |
| 137:3 | For there they that carried us away captive required of us |
For there our captors asked us the words of a song, And our spoilers -- joy: `Sing ye to us of a song of Zion.' |
| 137:4 | How shall we sing the LORD's song in a |
How do we sing the song of Jehovah, On the land of a stranger? |
| 137:5 | If I forget thee, O |
If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, my right hand forgetteth! |
| 137:6 | If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not |
My tongue doth cleave to my palate, If I do not remember thee, If I do not exalt Jerusalem above my chief joy. |
| 137:7 | Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of |
Remember, Jehovah, for the sons of Edom, The day of Jerusalem, Those saying, `Rase, rase to its foundation!' |
| 137:8 | O daughter of |
O daughter of Babylon, O destroyed one, O the happiness of him who repayeth to thee thy deed, That thou hast done to us. |
| 137:9 | Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against |
O the happiness of him who doth seize, And hath dashed thy sucklings on the rock! |
