[1] By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down.    Yes, we wept, when we
remembered Zion. [2] On the willows in the midst of it,    We hung up our
harps. [3] For there, those who led us captive asked us for songs.    Those
who tormented us demanded songs of joy:    "Sing us one of the songs of
Zion!" [4] How can we sing Yahweh`s song in a foreign land? [5] If I forget
you, Jerusalem,    Let my right hand forget its skill. [6] Let my tongue
stick to the roof of my mouth,	  If I don`t remember you;    If I don`t
prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy. [7] Remember, Yahweh, against the
children of Edom,    The day of Jerusalem;    Who said, "Raze it!     Raze
it even to its foundation!" [8] Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction,
   He will be happy who rewards you,	As you have served us. [9] Happy
shall he be,	Who takes and dashes your little ones against the rock.    
 Psalm 138  By David.
