1 By the waters of Babilon we sat downe and weapte, when we remembred Syon.
2 As for oure harpes, we hanged them vp vpon the trees, that are therin.
3 For they that led vs awaye captyue, requyred of vs then a songe & melody in our heuynes: synge vs one of the songes of Sion.
4 Howe shall we synge the Lordes songe in a straunge lande.
5 If I forget the, O Ierusalem, let my ryght hande forget her connynge.
6 If I do not remembre the, let my tong cleue to the rofe of my mouth: yee, yf I preferre not Ierusalem in my myrth.
7 Remembre the chyldren of Edom, O Lorde, in the daye of Ierusalem, how they sayde: downe wt it, downe with it: euen to the grounde.
8 O daughter of Babylon, wasted with miserye: yee, happye shall he be, that rewardeth the, as thou hast serued vs.
9 Blessed shall he be, that taketh thy chyldren, and throweth them agaynst the stones.
