[1] Weeping, we sat beside the rivers of Babylon thinking of Jerusalem.
[2] We have put away our lyres, hanging them upon the branches of the willow trees,
[3] for how can we sing? Yet our captors, our tormentors, demand that we sing for them the happy songs of Zion!
[5] If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill upon the harp. If I fail to love her more than my highest joy, let me never sing again.
[7] O Jehovah, do not forget what these Edomites did on that day when the armies of Babylon captured Jerusalem. "Raze her to the ground!" they yelled.
[8] O Babylon, evil beast, you shall be destroyed. Blessed is the man who destroys you as you have destroyed us.
[9] Blessed is the man who takes your babies and smashes them against the rocks!
