4 How shall we sing the Lord’s songin a foreign land?
5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill!
6 Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth,if I do not remember you,if I do not set Jerusalemabove my highest joy!
7 Remember, O Lord, against the Edomites the day of Jerusalem,how they said, “Lay it bare, lay it bare,down to its foundations!”
8 O daughter of Babylon, doomed to be destroyed,blessed shall he be who repays youwith what you have done to us!
9 Blessed shall he be who takes your little onesand dashes them against the rock!
