MLV(i)
1 We sat down there by the rivers of Babylon, yes, we wept when we remembered Zion.
2 We hung up our harps upon the willows in the midst of it.
3 Because those who led us captive there required of us songs and those who wasted us, gladness, saying, Sing for us one of the songs of Zion.
4 How will we sing Jehovah's song in a foreign land?
5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget. 6 Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth, if I do not remember you, if I do not prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy.
7 Remember, O Jehovah, the day of Jerusalem against the sons of Edom, who said, Raze it, raze it, even to the foundation of it.
8 O daughter of Babylon, who is to be destroyed, he will be fortunate who rewards you as you have served us. 9 He will be fortunate who takes and smashes your little ones against the rock.
