This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
137 We sat beside the rivers in Babylon
sat and wept when we thought about Tsiyyon (Zion).
2 We hung our harps there on the willow trees
3 because our captors there had demanded that we sing songs,
and those who never stopped mocking us said,
“Sing us one of the songs from Tsiyyon.”
4 How could we sing a song about Yahweh
while we were captive in a foreign country?
5 If I forget about you, Yerushalem,
may my right hand forget how to do anything.
6 Let my tongue stick to my palate if I don’t keep remembering you—
if I don’t prioritise Yerushalem over my favourite pastime.
7 Remember, Yahweh, the day Yerushalem fell,
how the Edomites said,
“Tear it down—tear it down to its foundations.”
8 You daughter of Babylon who will be destroyed—
blessed be the one who repays you for what you did to us.[ref]
9 Blessed be the one who seizes your little ones
and smashes them against the rocks.
