1By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down.
2On the willows in that land,
3For there, those who led us captive asked us for songs.
4How can we sing the LORD’s song in a foreign land?
5If I forget you, Jerusalem,
6Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don’t remember you,
7Remember, LORD, against the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem,
8Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction,
9Happy shall he be,
