- 1By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yes, we wept when we remembered Zion.
- 2We hung our harps on the willows in the midst of it.
- 3For there those who carried us away captive required of us a song, and those who wasted us required of us mirth, saying, 'Sing us one of the songs of Zion.'
- 4How shall we sing the LORD's song in a foreign land?
- 5If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill.
- 6Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy.
- 7Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem, who said, 'Raze it, raze it, even to its foundation!'
- 8O daughter of Babylon, who are to be destroyed, happy shall he be who repays you as you have served us.
- 9Happy shall he be who takes and dashes your little ones against the stones.
