By the Rivers of Babylon

Ezekiel 1:1–3

1By rivers of Babylon--There we did sit, Yea, we wept when we remembered Zion.+ 2On willows in its midst we hung our harps.+ 3For there our captors asked us the words of a song, And our spoilers--joy: `Sing ye to us of a song of Zion.'+ 4How do we sing the song of Jehovah, On the land of a stranger?+ 5If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, my right hand forgetteth!+ 6My tongue doth cleave to my palate, If I do not remember thee, If I do not exalt Jerusalem above my chief joy.+ 7Remember, Jehovah, for the sons of Edom, The day of Jerusalem, Those saying, `Rase, rase to its foundation!'+ 8O daughter of Babylon, O destroyed one, O the happiness of him who repayeth to thee thy deed, That thou hast done to us.+ 9O the happiness of him who doth seize, And hath dashed thy sucklings on the rock!+
