1ByH5921 the riversH5104 of BabylonH894 we satH3427 andH1571 weptH1058when we rememberedH2142 ZionH6726.2There onH5921 the willowsH6155H84321we hungH8518 our harpsH3658,3forH3588 thereH8033 our captorsH7617H1697 requestedH7592 a songH7892;our tormentors demandedH8437 songs of joyH8057:
“SingH7891 us a songH7892 of ZionH6726.”
4HowH349 can we singH7891 a songH7892 of the LORDH3068inH5921 a foreignH5236 landH127?5IfH518 I forget youH7911, O JerusalemH3389,may my right handH3225 cease to functionH7911.6May my tongueH3956 clingH1692 to the roof of my mouthH2441ifH518 I do notH3808 remember youH2142,ifH518 I do notH3808 exaltH5927 JerusalemH3389asH5921 my greatestH7218 joyH8057!
7RememberH2142, O LORDH3068,the sonsH1121 of EdomH123 on the dayH3117 JerusalemH3389 fell:“Destroy itH6168,” they saidH559,“tear it downH6168 toH5704 its foundationsH3247!”
