1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion. VP

2 We hung our harps upon the willows in the midst of it. VP

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. VP

4 How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a foreign land? VP

5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget [her skill] . VP

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. VP

7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Raze [it] , raze [it] , [even] to its foundation. VP

8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy [shall he be] , that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. VP

9 Happy [shall he be] , that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones. VP
