Psalm 137:6-8
Legacy Standard Bible

6 May my (A)tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
If I do not remember you,
If I do not [a](B)exalt Jerusalem
Above my chief joy.

7 Remember, O Yahweh, against the sons of (C)Edom
The day of Jerusalem,
Who said, “Tear it down! Tear it down
(D)To its very foundation.”
8 O daughter of Babylon, you (E)devastated one,
How blessed will be the one who (F)repays you
With [b]the recompense with which you have recompensed us.

New International Version

6 May my tongue cling to the roof(A) of my mouth
    if I do not remember(B) you,
if I do not consider Jerusalem(C)

7 Remember, Lord, what the Edomites(D) did
    on the day Jerusalem fell.(E)
“Tear it down,” they cried,
    “tear it down to its foundations!”(F)
8 Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction,(G)
    happy is the one who repays you
    according to what you have done to us.
