Psalm 137 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Upon the [fn]willows ^H6155 in the midst ^H8432 of it

We hung ^H8518 our lyres ^H3658.

For there ^H8033 our captors ^H7617 asked ^H7592 us about the words ^H1697 of a song ^H7892,

And our tormentors ^H8437 asked joyfully ^H8057, saying,

“Sing ^H7891 for us one of the songs ^H7892 of Zion ^H6726.”

How ^H349 can we sing ^H7891 a song ^H7892 of Yahweh ^H3068

In a foreign ^H5236 land ^H127?

If ^H518 I forget ^H7911 you, O Jerusalem ^H3389,

May my right ^H3225 hand ^H3225 [fn]forget ^H7911 her skill.

May my tongue ^H3956 cling ^H1692 to the roof ^H2441 of ^H2441 my mouth ^H2441

If ^H518 I do not remember ^H2142 you,

If ^H518 I do not [fn]exalt ^H5927 Jerusalem ^H3389

Above ^H5921 my chief ^H7218 joy ^H8057.

Remember ^H2142, O Yahweh ^H3068, against the sons ^H1121 of Edom ^H123

The day ^H3117 of Jerusalem ^H3389,

Who said ^H559, “Tear ^H6168 it down ^H6168! Tear ^H6168 it down ^H6168

To its very foundation ^H3247.”

O daughter ^H1323 of Babylon ^H894, you devastated ^H7703 one,

How blessed ^H835 will be the one who ^H7945 repays ^H7999 you

With [fn]the recompense ^H1576 with which ^H7945 you have recompensed ^H1580 us.

How blessed ^H835 will be the one who ^H7945 seizes ^H270 and dashes ^H5310 your infants ^H5768

Against ^H413 the cliff ^H5553.
