The argument of the .cxxxvii. Psalme.
¶ The prophete declareth the great griefe and lamentation of the children of Israel, for
that they (beyng led prisoners vnto Babylon) were prouoked to sing as they vsed to
do at Sion. He protesseth that he can not forget Hierusalem. He prayeth God to
remember the Idumites, who malitiously incensed their enemies against them. He
prophesieth of the destruction of Babylon.

1 By the waters of note Babylon we sat
downe there: also we wept when
we remembred Sion.
2 We hanged our harpes on the Salon
trees: in the mydst note of it.
3 For there they that led vs away captiue
-- --
Moneth the .xxviii. day.
required of vs some matter of a
song: and [for] our waylynges myrth,
[saying] sing vs one of the songes of
Sion.
4 [He aunswered] howe can we sing one
of the songes of God: in another lande
besides our owne?
5 If I forget thee O Hierusalem: let
my right hande forget [her cunning.]
6 Let my tongue cleaue to the roofe of
my mouth, if I do not remember thee:
Euenyng prayer.
yea if I preferre not thee O Hierusalem
aboue my most myrth.

7 Remember the chyldren of Edom in
the note day of Hierusalem: they sayde,
downe with it, downe with it, euen to
the grounde.
8 O daughter of Babylon who must
lye wasted: happy shall he be that rewardeth
thee as thou hast serued vs.
9 Blessed shall he be: that taketh ∧ throweth
thy litle children against the stone.
