1. |
Upon the rivers of Babylon, there we sat and wept: when we remembered Sion:
|
|
2. |
On the willows in the midst thereof we hung up our instruments.
|
|
3. |
For there they that led us into captivity required of us the words of songs. And they that carried us away, said: Sing ye to us a hymn of the songs of Sion.
|
|
4. |
How shall we sing the song of the Lord in a strange land?
|
|
5. |
If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand be forgotten.
|
|
6. |
Let my tongue cleave to my jaws, if I do not remember thee: If I make not Jerusalem the beginning of my joy.
|
|
7. |
Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom, in the day of Jerusalem: Who say: Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.
|
|
8. |
O daughter of Babylon, miserable: blessed shall he be who shall repay thee thy payment which thou hast paid us.
|
|
9. |
Blessed be he that shall take and dash thy little ones against the rock.
