1371By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down.Yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion.+2On the willows in that land,we hung up our harps.+3For there, those who led us captive asked us for songs.Those who tormented us demanded songs of joy:“Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”+4How can we sing Yahweh’s song in a foreign land?+5If I forget you, Jerusalem,let my right hand forget its skill.+6Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don’t remember you;if I don’t prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy.+7Remember, Yahweh, against the children of Edom,the day of Jerusalem;who said, “Raze it!Raze it even to its foundation!”+8Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction,he will be happy who rewards you,as you have served us.+9Happy shall he be,who takes and dashes your little ones against the rock.+
