The Book of Psalms in the Bible contains psalms: songs of praise of God. Many of them are attributed to David.
Psalm 137
Psalm 137 
, which begins with "By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion" is a beautiful song, expressing sadness over the Hebrews' exile in Babylon and the loss of their homeland.
Its last two lines are often omitted, however:
- 8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
- 9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
