By the rivers{H5104} of Babylon{H894}, there we sat down{H3427}{(H8804)}, yea, we wept{H1058}{(H8804)}, when we remembered{H2142}{(H8800)} Zion{H6726}.

We hanged{H8518}{(H8804)} our harps{H3658} upon the willows{H6155} in the midst{H8432} thereof.

For there they that carried us away captive{H7617}{(H8802)} required{H7592}{(H8804)} of us a song{H1697}{H7892}; and they that wasted{H8437} us required of us mirth{H8057}, saying, Sing{H7891}{(H8798)} us one of the songs{H7892} of Zion{H6726}.

How shall we sing{H7891}{(H8799)} the LORD'S{H3068} song{H7892} in a strange{H5236} land{H127}?

If I forget{H7911}{(H8799)} thee, O Jerusalem{H3389}, let my right hand{H3225} forget{H7911}{(H8799)} her cunning.

If I do not remember{H2142}{(H8799)} thee, let my tongue{H3956} cleave{H1692}{(H8799)} to the roof of my mouth{H2441}; if I prefer{H5927}{(H8686)} not Jerusalem{H3389} above my chief{H7218} joy{H8057}.

Remember{H2142}{(H8798)}, O LORD{H3068}, the children{H1121} of Edom{H123} in the day{H3117} of Jerusalem{H3389}; who said{H559}{(H8802)}, Rase{H6168}{(H8761)} it, rase{H6168}{(H8761)} it, even to the foundation{H3247} thereof.

O daughter{H1323} of Babylon{H894}, who art to be destroyed{H7703}{(H8803)}; happy{H835} shall he be, that rewardeth{H7999}{(H8762)} thee as thou hast served{H1580}{(H8804)}{H1576} us.

Happy{H835} shall he be, that taketh{H270}{(H8799)} and dasheth{H5310}{(H8765)} thy little ones{H5768} against the stones{H5553}.
