By the arivers of Babylon
, There
we sat
down
and bwept
, When we remembered
Zion
.
Upon the 1 awillows in the midst
of it We bhung
our 2harps
.
For there our captors
1 ademanded
of us 2songs
, And bour tormentors
mirth
, saying, "Sing
us one of the songs
of Zion
."
How can we sing
athe LORD'S
song
In a foreign
land
?
If I aforget
you, O Jerusalem
, May my right
hand
1forget
her skill.
May 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
.
Remember, O LORD
, against the sons
of aEdom
The day
of Jerusalem
, Who said
, "Raze
it, raze
it bTo its very foundation
."
O 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.
How blessed will be the one who
seizes
and adashes
your little
ones
Against
the rock
.
