1By the rivers of Babylon,

There we sat down, yea, we wept

When we remembered Zion.

2We hung our harps

Upon the willows in the midst of it.

3For there those who carried us away captive asked of us a song,

And those who plundered us requested mirth,

Saying, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”

4How shall we sing the Lord’s song

In a foreign land?

5If I forget you, O Jerusalem,

Let my right hand forget its skill!

6If I do not remember you,

Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth—

If I do not exalt Jerusalem

Above my chief joy.

7Remember, O Lord, against the sons of Edom

The day of Jerusalem,

Who said, 137:7 Lit. Make bare“Raze it, raze it,

To its very foundation!”

8O daughter of Babylon, who are to be destroyed,

Happy the one who repays you as you have served us!

9Happy the one who takes and dashes

Your little ones against the rock!
