Psalms

By the Rivers of Babylon

Ezekiel 1:1–3

1By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down; yea, we wept when we remembered Zion.+ 2We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.+ 3For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that made us wail [required] mirth, [saying,] Sing us [one] of the songs of Zion.+ 4How should we sing a song of Jehovah's upon a foreign soil?+ 5If I forget thee, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget [its skill];+ 6If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to my palate: if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.+ 7Remember, O Jehovah, against the sons of Edom, the day of Jerusalem; who said, Lay [it] bare, Lay [it] bare, down to its foundation!+ 8Daughter of Babylon, who art to be laid waste, happy he that rendereth unto thee that which thou hast meted out to us.+ 9Happy he that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the rock.+
