[00:00:04] Psalm 137 By the rivers of Babylon, there we captives sat down and wept, when we remembered Zion, the city God imprinted on our hearts. On the willow trees in the midst of Babylon, we hung our harps.
[00:00:25] For there they took us captive, demanded of us a song with words, and our tormentors, who made a mockery of us, demanded amusement, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. How can we sing the Lord's song in a strange and foreign land?
[00:00:48] If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her skill with the harp. Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth, if I do not remember you, if I do not prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy. Remember, O Lord, against the sons of Edom, the day of the fall of Jerusalem,
[00:01:16] who said, Down, down with her, to her very foundation. O daughter of Babylon, you devastator! How blessed will be the one who repays you with destruction, as you have repaid us! How blessed will be the one who seizes and dashes your little ones against the rock!
[00:01:42] Thank you for tuning in to the The Audio Bible today. This has been Psalm chapter 137, from the Word of God.
