TEHILLIM137eng_ojb
1By the rivers of Babylon,there we sat down, yes, we wept,when we remembered Tziyon.2We hung up our kinnorot (lyres)upon the willows in the midst thereof.3For there they that carried us away captiverequired of us a shir (song);and they that tormented us required of us simchah,saying, Sing us one of the Shir Tziyon.4How shall we sing Shir Hashemin an admat nekhar (foreign land).5If I forget thee, O Yerushalayim,let my yamin (right hand) forget.6If I do not remember thee,let my leshon cleave to the roof of my mouth;if I prefer not Yerushalayimabove my rosh simchah (chief joy).7Remember, Hashem, the Bnei Edomin the Yom Yerushalayim;who said, Raze it, raze it,even to the yesod (foundation) thereof.8O Bat Bavel, who art to be destroyed,ashrei shall he be, that repayeth theethe gemul thou hast done to us.9Ashrei shall he be,that taketh and dasheth thy olalim against the sela.
