By the arivers of Babylon, There we sat down and bwept, When we remembered Zion.
2Upon the 1 awillows in the midst of it We bhung our 2harps.
3For there our captors 1 ademanded of us 2songs, And bour tormentors mirth, saying, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion."
4How can we sing athe LORD'S song In a foreign land?
5If I aforget you, O Jerusalem, May my right hand 1forget her skill.
6May my atongue cling to the roof of my mouth If I do not remember you, If I do not 1 bexalt Jerusalem Above my chief joy.
7Remember, O LORD, against the sons of aEdom The day of Jerusalem, Who said, "Raze it, raze it bTo its very foundation."
8O daughter of Babylon, you 1 adevastated one, How blessed will be the one who brepays you With 2the recompense with which you have repaid us.
9How blessed will be the one who seizes and adashes your little ones Against the rock.
