1
By the rivers of Babylon,
There we sat down, yea, we wept,
When we remembered Zion.
2
Upon the willows in the midst
thereof We hanged up our
harps.
3
For there they that led us
captive required of us songs,
And they that wasted us [required of us] mirth, [saying],
Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
4
How shall we sing Jehovah's
song
In a foreign land?
5
If I forget thee, O
Jerusalem,
Let my right hand forget [her skill].
6
Let my tongue cleave to the
roof of my mouth,
If I remember thee not;
If I prefer not Jerusalem
Above my chief joy.
7
Remember, O Jehovah, against
the children of Edom
The day of Jerusalem;
Who said, Rase it, rase it,
Even to the foundation thereof.
8
O daughter of Babylon, that
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 rock.
