137:1 By the rivers 5104 of Babylon 894, there we sat down 3427 8804, yea, we wept 1058 8804, when we remembered 2142 8800 Zion 6726.

137:2 We hanged 8518 8804 our harps 3658 upon the willows 6155 in the midst 8432 thereof.

137:3 For there they that carried us away captive 7617 8802 required 7592 8804 of us a song 1697 7892; and they that wasted 8437 us [required of us] mirth 8057, [saying], Sing 7891 8798 us [one] of the songs 7892 of Zion 6726.(a song: Heb. the words of a song)(wasted…: Heb. laid us on heaps)

137:5 If I forget 7911 8799 thee, O Jerusalem 3389, let my right hand 3225 forget 7911 8799 [her cunning].

137:6 If I do not remember 2142 8799 thee, let my tongue 3956 cleave 1692 8799 to the roof of my mouth 2441; if I prefer 5927 8686 not Jerusalem 3389 above my chief 7218 joy 8057.(my chief…: Heb. the head of my joy)

137:7 Remember 2142 8798, O LORD 3068, the children 1121 of Edom 123 in the day 3117 of Jerusalem 3389; who said 559 8802, Rase 6168 8761 [it], rase 6168 8761 [it, even] to the foundation 3247 thereof.(Rase it: Heb. Make bare)

137:8 O daughter 1323 of Babylon 894, who art to be destroyed 7703 8803; happy 835 [shall he be], that rewardeth 7999 8762 thee as thou hast served 1580 8804 1576 us.(destroyed: Heb. wasted)(rewardeth…: Heb. recompenseth unto thee thy deed which thou didst to us)

137:9 Happy 835 [shall he be], that taketh 270 8799 and dasheth 5310 8765 thy little ones 5768 against the stones 5553.(the stones: Heb. the rock)
