Psalm 137:1-2

1599 Geneva Bible

137 1 The people of God in their banishment seeing God’s true Religion decay, lived in great anguish and sorrow of heart: the which grief the Chaldeans did so little pity, 3 That they rather increased the same daily with taunts, reproaches and blasphemies against God. 7 Wherefore the Israelites desire God, first to punish the Edomites, who provoked the Babylonians against them, 8 And moved by the Spirit of God, prophesy the destruction of Babylon, where they were handled so tyrannously. 

¹ By the rivers of Babel we ^[a]sat, and there we wept, when we remembered Zion.

² We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst ^[b]thereof.
