| 1 | By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. |
| 2 | We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. |
| 3 | For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us {required of us} mirth, {saying}, Sing us {one} of the songs of Zion. |
| 4 | How shall we sing the Lord’s song in a strange land? |
| 5 | If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget {her cunning}. |
| 6 | If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. |
| 7 | Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase {it}, rase {it, even} to the foundation thereof. |
| 8 | O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy {shall he be}, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. |
| 9 | Happy {shall he be}, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones. |
