New American Standard Bible
Chapter 137
6May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth If I do not remember you, If I do not exalt Jerusalem Above my chief joy. 7Remember, Lord, against the sons of Edom The day of Jerusalem, Those who said, 'Lay it bare, lay it bare To its foundation!' 8Daughter of Babylon, you devastated one, Blessed will be one who repays you With the retribution with which you have repaid us. 9Blessed will be one who seizes and dashes your children Against the rock.King James Version
7Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.
8O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
9Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

6May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not exalt Jerusalem as my greatest joy! 7Remember, Lord, what the Edomites said that day at Jerusalem: "Destroy it! Destroy it down to its foundations! " 8Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is the one who pays you back what you have done to us. 9Happy is he who takes your little ones and dashes them against the rocks.New Living Translation
7O Lord, remember what the Edomites did on the day the armies of Babylon captured Jerusalem. 'Destroy it!' they yelled. 'Level it to the ground!'
8O Babylon, you will be destroyed. Happy is the one who pays you back for what you have done to us.
9Happy is the one who takes your babies and smashes them against the rocks!
