Psalms 137:1 - Compare All Versions

Deildu

Alongside Babylon’s rivers we sat on the banks; we cried and cried, remembering the good old days in Zion. Alongside the quaking aspens we stacked our unplayed harps; That’s where our captors demanded songs, sarcastic and mocking: “Sing us a happy Zion song!”

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, When we remembered Zion.

By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down and wept, When we remembered Zion.

By the rivers in Babylon we sat and cried when we remembered Jerusalem.

By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept, When we remembered Zion.

By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion.

By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept When we remembered Zion.

By the rivers of Babylon, There we [captives] sat down and wept, When we remembered Zion [the city God imprinted on our hearts].

Beside the rivers of Babylon, we sat and wept as we thought of Jerusalem.

Along the banks of Babylon’s rivers we sat as exiles, mourning our captivity, and wept with great love for Zion.

By the waters of Babylon, there we sat down and wept, when we remembered Zion.
