Exploring The Waste Land - Supplementary textPsalm 137
- By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when
we remembered Zion.
- We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
- For there they that carried us away captive required of us a
song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us
one of the songs of Zion.
- How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?
- If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her
cunning.
- If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my
mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
- Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem;
who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.
- O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he
be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
- Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against
the stones.
