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].

Blessed [shall he be] who shall seize and dash thine infants against the rock.
