1By the rivers of Babylon,
There we sat down, yea, we wept
When we remembered Zion.
2We hung our harps
Upon the willows in the midst of it.
3For there those who carried us away captive asked of us a song,
And those who plundered usrequested mirth,
Saying, “Sing usone of the songs of Zion!”

4How shall we sing theLord’s song
In a foreign land?
5If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
Let my right hand forgetits skill!
6If I do not remember you,
Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth—
If I do not exalt Jerusalem
Above my chief joy.

7Remember, OLord, against the sons of Edom
The day of Jerusalem,
Who said,[a]“Razeit, razeit,
To its very foundation!”

8O daughter of Babylon, who are to be destroyed,
Happy the one who repays you as you have served us!
9Happy the one who takes and dashes
Your little ones against the rock!
