Psalms 137

1 At [the] rivers of - Babylon there we sat also we wept when remembered we Zion.

On the floodis of Babiloyne there we saten, and wepten; while we bithouyten on Syon.

2 On poplars in [the] midst of it we hung up harps our.

In salewis in the myddil therof; we hangiden vp oure orguns.

3 For there they asked us captors our words of a song and mockers our gladness sing for us one of [the] song[s] of Zion.

For thei that ledden vs prisoners; axiden vs there the wordis of songis. And thei that ledden awei vs seiden; Synge ye to vs an ympne of the songis of Syon.

4 How? will we sing [the] song of Yahweh on ground of foreignness.

Hou schulen we singe a songe of the Lord; in an alien lond?

5 If I will forget you O Jerusalem may it forget right [hand] my.

If Y foryete thee, Jerusalem; my riyt hond be youun to foryeting.

6 May it cleave tongue my - to palate my if not I will remember you if not I will lift up Jerusalem above [the] chief of joy my.

Mi tunge cleue to my chekis; if Y bithenke not on thee. If Y purposide not of thee, Jerusalem; in the bigynnyng of my gladnesse.

7 Remember O Yahweh - to [the] people of Edom [the] day of Jerusalem who were saying lay bare - lay bare to the foundation in it.

Lord, haue thou mynde on the sones of Edom; for the dai of Jerusalem. Whiche seien, Anyntische ye, anyntische ye; `til to the foundement ther ynne.

8 O daughter of Babylon that is about to be destroyed how blessed! [is one] who he will repay to you dealing your that you dealt to us.

Thou wretchid douyter of Babiloyne; he is blessid, that `schal yelde to thee thi yelding, which thou yeldidist to vs.

9 How blessed! - [is one] who he will seize and he will smash children your to the rock.

He is blessid, that schal holde; and hurtle doun hise litle children at a stoon.
