✠ Psalms 136

Chapters

---

PS 136:1  Upon the rivers of Babylon, there we sat and wept: when we remembered Sion:

PS 136:2  On the willows in the midst thereof we hung up our instruments.

PS 136:3  For there they that led us into captivity required of us the words of songs. And they that carried us away, said: Sing ye to us a hymn of the songs of Sion.

PS 136:4  How shall we sing the song of the Lord in a strange land?

PS 136:5  If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand be forgotten.

PS 136:6  Let my tongue cleave to my jaws, if I do not remember thee: If I make not Jerusalem the beginning of my joy.

PS 136:7  Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom, in the day of Jerusalem: Who say: Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.

PS 136:8  O daughter of Babylon, miserable: blessed shall he be who shall repay thee thy payment which thou hast paid us.

PS 136:9  Blessed be he that shall take and dash thy little ones against the rock.
