5 Jerusalem , if I forget you, may my right hand never be able to play the harp again.
6 If I don't remember you, may my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth so I can't sing. May it happen if I don't consider Jerusalem to be my greatest joy.
7 Lord, remember what the people of Edom did on the day Jerusalem fell. "Tear it down!" they cried. "Tear it down to the ground!"
8 People of Babylon, you are sentenced to be destroyed. Happy are those who pay you back for what you have done to us.
