By the rivers{H5104} of Babylon,{H894} There we sat down,{H3427} yea, we wept,{H1058} When we remembered{H2142} Zion.{H6726}

Upon the willows{H6155} in the midst{H8432} thereof We hanged{H8518} up our harps.{H3658}

For there they that led us captive{H7617} required{H7592} of us songs,{H1697} And they that wasted{H8437} us [required of us] mirth,{H8057} [saying], Sing{H7891} us one of the songs{H7892} of Zion.{H6726}

How shall we sing{H7891} Jehovah's{H3068} song{H7892} In a foreign{H5236} land?{H127}

If I forget{H7911} thee, O Jerusalem,{H3389} Let my right hand{H3225} forget{H7911} [her skill].

Let my tongue{H3956} cleave{H1692} to the roof of my mouth,{H2441} If I remember{H2142} thee not; If I prefer{H5927} not Jerusalem{H3389} Above my chief{H7218} joy.{H8057}

Remember,{H2142} O Jehovah,{H3068} against the children{H1121} of Edom{H123} The day{H3117} of Jerusalem;{H3389} Who said,{H559} Rase{H6168} it, rase{H6168} it, Even to the foundation{H3247} thereof.

O daughter{H1323} of Babylon,{H894} that art to be destroyed,{H7703} Happy{H835} shall he be, that rewardeth{H7999} thee As thou hast served{H1580} us.

Happy{H835} shall he be, that taketh{H270} and dasheth{H5310} thy little ones{H5768} Against the rock.{H5553}
