Psalm 137 with the Church Fathers

¹By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion.Verse 1: 5 passages in the Fathers ²There on the willows we hung our harps,Verse 2: 4 passages in the Fathers ³for there our captors requested a song; our tormentors demanded songs of joy: “Sing us a song of Zion.”Verse 3: 2 passages in the Fathers ⁴How can we sing a song of the LORD in a foreign land?Verse 4: 4 passages in the Fathers ⁵If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand cease to function. ⁶May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not exalt Jerusalem as my greatest joy!Verse 6: 3 passages in the Fathers ⁷Remember, O LORD, the sons of Edom on the day Jerusalem fell: “Destroy it,” they said, “tear it down to its foundations!”Verse 7: 2 passages in the Fathers ⁸O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, blessed is he who repays you as you have done to us.Verse 8: 2 passages in the Fathers ⁹Blessed is he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.
