By the waters of Babylon we sat downe there: also we wept when we remembred Sion.

We hanged our harpes on the Salon trees: in the mydst of it.

For there they that led vs away captiue required of vs some matter of a song: and for our waylynges myrth, saying sing vs one of the songes of Sion.

He aunswered howe can we sing one of the songes of God: in another lande besides our owne?

If I forget thee O Hierusalem: let my right hande forget her cunning.

Let my tongue cleaue to the roofe of my mouth, if I do not remember thee: yea if I preferre not thee O Hierusalem aboue my most myrth.

Remember the chyldren of Edom in the day of Hierusalem: they sayde, downe with it, downe with it, euen to the grounde.

O daughter of Babylon who must lye wasted: happy shall he be that rewardeth thee as thou hast serued vs.

Blessed shall he be: that taketh & throweth thy litle children against the stone.
