1 - By rivers of Babylon--There we did sit, Yea, we wept when we remembered Zion.

2 - On willows in its midst we hung our harps.

3 - For there our captors asked us the words of a song, And our spoilers--joy: `Sing ye to us of a song of Zion.'

4 - How do we sing the song of Jehovah, On the land of a stranger?

5 - If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, my right hand forgetteth!

6 - My tongue doth cleave to my palate, If I do not remember thee, If I do not exalt Jerusalem above my chief joy.

7 - Remember, Jehovah, for the sons of Edom, The day of Jerusalem, Those saying, `Rase, rase to its foundation!'

8 - O daughter of Babylon, O destroyed one, O the happiness of him who repayeth to thee thy deed, That thou hast done to us.

9 - O the happiness of him who doth seize, And hath dashed thy sucklings on the rock!
