1 By the rivers|strong="H5104" of Babylon|strong="H0894", there we sat down|strong="H3427", yea, we wept|strong="H1058", when we remembered|strong="H2142" Zion|strong="H6726".
2 We hanged|strong="H8518" our harps|strong="H3658" upon the willows|strong="H6155" in the midst|strong="H8432" thereof.
3 For there they that carried us away captive|strong="H7617" required|strong="H7592" of us a song|strong="H1697"; and they that wasted|strong="H8437" us required of us mirth|strong="H8057", saying, Sing|strong="H7891" us one of the songs|strong="H7892" of Zion|strong="H6726".
4 How shall we sing|strong="H7891" the \+w LORD’s|strong="H3068"\+w* song|strong="H7892" in a strange|strong="H5236" land|strong="H0127"?
5 If I forget|strong="H7911" thee, O Jerusalem|strong="H3389", let my right hand|strong="H3225" forget|strong="H7911" her cunning.
6 If I do not remember|strong="H2142" thee, let my tongue|strong="H3956" cleave|strong="H1692" to the roof of my mouth|strong="H2441"; if I prefer|strong="H5927" not Jerusalem|strong="H3389" above my chief|strong="H7218" joy|strong="H8057".
7 Remember|strong="H2142", O \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*, the children|strong="H1121" of Edom|strong="H0123" in the day|strong="H3117" of Jerusalem|strong="H3389"; who said|strong="H0559", Rase|strong="H6168" it, rase|strong="H6168" it, even to the foundation|strong="H3247" thereof.
8 O daughter|strong="H1323" of Babylon|strong="H0894", who art to be destroyed|strong="H7703"; happy|strong="H0835" shall he be, that rewardeth|strong="H7999" thee as thou hast served|strong="H1580" us.
9 Happy|strong="H0835" shall he be, that taketh|strong="H0270" and dasheth|strong="H5310" thy little ones|strong="H5768" against the stones|strong="H5553".
