Psalm 137

Beside the Rivers of Babylon

Sorrow for Jerusalem

Beside the rivers[a] of Babylon,
there we sat, and, yes, we wept as we remembered Zion.
There we hung up our lyres on the willows,
because there our captors asked us for words of a song,
and our tormentors asked for a happy song:
“Sing for us one of the songs of Zion!”

By the rivers of Babylon(A) we sat and wept(B)

There on the poplars(D)
    we hung our harps,(E)
for there our captors(F) asked us for songs,
    our tormentors demanded(G) songs of joy;
    they said, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”(H)

137 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.

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.
