O daughter of Babylon, wasted with misery: yea, happy shall he be that rewardeth thee, as thou hast served us. NARES. 24. Psalm cxxxvii. 1-8. By the waters of Babylon we sat down and wept when we remembered thee, O Sion. As for our harps we hanged them up: upon the trees that are therein. For they that led us away captive, required of us a song, and melody in our heaviness: sing us one of the songs of Sion. How shall we sing the LORD's song: in a strange land ? If I forget thee, O Jerusalem: let my right hand forget her cunning. If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth: yea, if I prefer not Jerusalem in my mirth. Remember the children of Edom, O LORD, in the day of Jerusalem: how they said, Down with it, down with it, even to the ground. O daughter of Babylon, wasted with misery: yea, happy shall he be that rewardeth thee, as thou hast served us. 25. Psalm xxv. 5, 6. BOYCE.
