Endagaano Enkadde nʼEndagaano Empya
137 (A)Twatuula ku mabbali g’emigga gy’e Babulooni,
ne tukaaba amaziga bwe twajjukira Sayuuni.
2 Ne tuwanika ennanga zaffe

3 (B)Abaatunyaga ne batulagira okuyimba,
abaatubonyaabonya ne batulagira okusanyuka;
nga bagamba nti, “Mutuyimbireyo lumu ku nnyimba za Sayuuni.”
4 Tunaayimba tutya oluyimba lwa Mukama
mu nsi eteri yaffe?
5 Bwe nnaakwerabiranga, ggwe Yerusaalemi,
omukono gwange ogwa ddyo gukale!
6 (C)Olulimi lwange lwesibire waggulu w’ekibuno kyange
singa nkwerabira,
ggwe Yerusaalemi, ne sikulowoozaako
okusinga ebintu ebirala byonna.

ku lunaku Yerusaalemi lwe kyawambibwa;
ne baleekaana nti, “Kisuule,
kimalirewo ddala n’emisingi gyakyo.”
8 (E)Ggwe omuwala wa Babulooni, agenda okuzikirizibwa,
yeesiimye oyo alikusasula ebyo
nga naawe bye watukola.
9 (F)Yeesiimye oyo aliddira abaana bo
n’ababetentera[b] ku lwazi.

Psalm 137
1 By the rivers of Babylon(A) we sat and wept(B)
when we remembered Zion.(C)
2 There on the poplars(D)
we hung our harps,(E)
3 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)
4 How can we sing the songs of the Lord(I)
while in a foreign land?
5 If I forget you,(J) Jerusalem,
may my right hand forget its skill.
6 May my tongue cling to the roof(K) of my mouth
if I do not remember(L) you,
if I do not consider Jerusalem(M)
my highest joy.
7 Remember, Lord, what the Edomites(N) did
on the day Jerusalem fell.(O)
“Tear it down,” they cried,
“tear it down to its foundations!”(P)
8 Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction,(Q)
happy is the one who repays you
according to what you have done to us.
9 Happy is the one who seizes your infants
and dashes them(R) against the rocks.
Psalm 137
King James Version
Psalm 137
King James Version
137 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.

Longing for Zion in a Foreign Land
137 By the rivers of Babylon,
There we sat down, yea, we wept
When we remembered Zion.
2 We hung our harps
Upon the willows in the midst of it.
3 For there those who carried us away captive asked of us a song,
And those who (A)plundered us requested mirth,
Saying, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”
4 How shall we sing the Lord’s song
In a foreign land?
5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
Let my right hand forget its skill!
6 If I do not remember you,
Let my (B)tongue cling to the roof of my mouth—
If I do not exalt Jerusalem
Above my chief joy.
7 Remember, O Lord, against (C)the sons of Edom
The day of Jerusalem,
Who said, [a]“Raze it, raze it,
To its very foundation!”
8 O daughter of Babylon, (D)who are to be destroyed,
Happy the one (E)who repays you as you have served us!
9 Happy the one who takes and (F)dashes
Your little ones against the rock!
