^1. By the waters of Babylon, there we sat down and wept, when we remembered Zion.

^2. On the willows there we hung up our lyres.

^3. For there our captors required of us songs, and our tormentors, mirth, saying, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion!"

^4. How shall we sing the LORD's song in a foreign land?

^5. If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand wither!

^6. Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I do not remember you, if I do not set Jerusalem above my highest joy!

^7. Remember, O LORD, against the E'domites the day of Jerusalem, how they said, "Rase it, rase it! Down to its foundations!"

^8. O daughter of Babylon, you devastator! Happy shall he be who requites you with what you have done to us!

^9. Happy shall he be who takes your little ones and dashes them against the rock!
