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
