## Text

[1] By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept
when we remembered Zion. [2] There on the willows
we hung our harps, [3] for there our captors requested a song;
our tormentors demanded songs of joy:
“Sing us a song of Zion.” [4] How can we sing a song of the LORD
in a foreign land? [5] If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
may my right hand cease to function. [6] May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
if I do not remember you,
if I do not exalt Jerusalem
as my greatest joy! [7] Remember, O LORD,
the sons of Edom on the day Jerusalem fell:
“Destroy it,” they said,
“tear it down to its foundations!” [8] O Daughter of Babylon,
doomed to destruction,
blessed is he who repays you
as you have done to us. [9] Blessed is he who seizes your infants
and dashes them against the rocks.
