For David, [a Psalm] of . By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat; and wept when we remembered .
We hung our harps on the willows in the midst of it.
For there they that had taken us captive asked of us the words of a song; and they that had carried us away [asked] a hymn, [saying], Sing us [one] of the songs of Sion.
How should we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?
If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget [its skill].
May my tongue cleave to my throat, if I do not remember thee; if I do not prefer Jerusalem as the chief of my joy.
Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase [it], rase [it], even to its foundations.
Wretched daughter of Babylon! blessed [shall he be] who shall reward thee as thou hast rewarded us.
Blessed [shall he be] who shall seize and dash thine infants against the rock.
