5 Jerusalem, if I forget you,let my right hand go limp.
6 Let my tongue stickto the roof of my mouth,if I don't think about youabove all else.
7 Our Lord, punish the Edomites!Because the day Jerusalem fell,they shouted,“Completely destroy the city!Tear down every building!”
8 Babylon, you are doomed!I pray the Lord's blessingson anyone who punishes youfor what you did to us.
9 May the Lord bless everyonewho beats your childrenagainst the rocks!
