Old Testament

New Testament

Psalm 136:4-9 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

4. How can we sing a song of the Lord in a foreign land?

5. If I ever forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand be forgotten.

6. May my tongue adhere to my jaws, if I do not remember you, if I do not set Jerusalem first, as the beginning of my joy.

7. O Lord, call to mind the sons of Edom, in the day of Jerusalem, who say: "Despoil it, despoil it, even to its foundation."

8. O daughter of Babylon, have pity. Blessed is he who will repay you with your payment, which you have paid to us.

9. Blessed is he who will take hold of your little ones and dash them against the rock.
