By= the rivers of Babylon-- there we sat down and = there we wept when we remembered Zio= n.

For there our captors asked us for songs, and our tormentors asked for mirth, saying, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion!" =

&nbs= p; How could we sing the Lord's song in a foreign land?

If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand wither! Let my tongue cling to the roof of= my mouth, if I do not remember you, if I do not set Jerusalem above my highest joy.

&nbs= p; Remember, O LORD, against the Edomites the day

&nbs= p; of Jerusalem's fall, how they said, "Tear it down!

&nbs= p; Tear it down! Down to its foundations!"

O daughter Babylon, you devastator! Happy shall = they be who pay you back what you have done to us!

&nbs= p; Happy shall they be who take your little ones and

&nbs= p; dash them against the rock!
