2. On willows in its midst we hung our harps.
3. For there our captors asked us the words of a song, And our spoilers--joy: `Sing ye to us of a song of Zion.'
4. How do we sing the song of Jehovah, On the land of a stranger?
5. If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, my right hand forgetteth!
6. My tongue doth cleave to my palate, If I do not remember thee, If I do not exalt Jerusalem above my chief joy.
7. Remember, Jehovah, for the sons of Edom, The day of Jerusalem, Those saying, `Rase, rase to its foundation!'
8. O daughter of Babylon, O destroyed one, O the happiness of him who repayeth to thee thy deed, That thou hast done to us.
9. O the happiness of him who doth seize, And hath dashed thy sucklings on the rock!
