Salmos 137
New American Bible ›1I By the rivers of Babylon we sat mourning and weeping when we remembered Zion.
2On the poplars of that land we hung up our harps.
3There our captors asked us for the words of a song; Our tormentors, for a joyful song: Sing for us a song of Zion!
4But how could we sing a song of the LORD in a foreign land?
5II If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand wither.
6May my tongue stick to my palate if I do not remember you, If I do not exalt Jerusalem beyond all my delights.
7III Remember, LORD, against Edom that day at Jerusalem. They said: Level it, level it down to its foundations!
8Fair Babylon, you destroyer, happy those who pay you back the evil you have done us!
9Happy those who seize your children and smash them against a rock.
