Author: W. W. Hymnal: The Whole Booke of Psalmes #81a (1640) First Line: When as we sat in Babylon Lyrics: 1 When as we sat in Babylon,
the rivers round about:
And in remembrance of Sion
the teares for griefe burst out:
2 We hang'd our harps and instruments,
the willow trees upon:
For in that place men for their use
had planted many one.
3 Then they to whom we prisoners were
said to us tauntingly:
Now let us heare your Hebrew songs,
and pleasant melody.
4 Alas said we, who can once frame
his sorrowfull heart to sing
The praises of our loving God
thus under a strange King?
5 But yet if I Jerusalem
out of my heart let slide:
Then let my fingers quite forget
the warbling harp to guide.
6 And let my tongue within my mouth
be ti'd for ever fast:
If that I joy before I see
thy full deliverance past.
7 Therefore (O Lord) remember now
the cursed noise and cry
That Edoms sonnes against us made,
when they raz'd our city.
Remember Lord their cruell words,
when as with one accord
They cry'd, On sack and raze their wals,
in despight of the Lord.
8 Even so shalt thou O Babylon,
at length to dust be brought:
And happy shall that man be cal'd,
that our revenge hath wrought.
9 Yea blessed shall that man be cal'd,
that takes thy children young:
To dash their bones against hard stones,
that lie the streets among. Scripture: Psalm 137 Languages: English Tune Title: [When as we sat in Babylon]

When we did sit in Babylon
Author: W. W. Hymnal: The Whole Book of Psalms #CXXXVII (1790) Lyrics: 1 When we did sit in Babylon
the rivers round about,
Then in remembrance of Sion
the tears for grief burst out.
2 We hang'd our harps and instruments
the willow-trees upon:
For in that place men for their use
had planted many one.
3 Then they to whom we prisoners were
said to us tauntingly,
Now let us hear your Hebrew songs
and pleasant melody.
4 Alas! said we, who can once frame
his heavy heart to sing
The praises of our loving God,
thus under a strange king?
5 But yet if I Jerusalem
out of my heart let slide,
Then let my fingers quite forget
the warbling harp to guide;
6 And let my tongue within my mouth
be tyed for ever fast,
If I rejoice before I see
thy full deliv'rance past.
7 Therefore, O Lord, remember now
the cursed noise and cry,
That Edom's sons against us made,
when they raz'd our city.
8 Remember, Lord, their cruel words,
when with a mighty sound
They cried, Down, yea, down with it
unto the very ground.
9 Even so shalt thou, O Babylon,
at length to dust be brought;
And happy shall that man be call'd,
that our revenge hath wrought.
10 Yea, blessed shall that man be call'd,
that takes thy little ones
And dasheth them in pieces small
against the very stones. Scripture: Psalm 137 Languages: English
