Longing for Zion in a Foreign Land
3 For there those who carried us away captive asked of us a song,
And those who aplundered us requested mirth,
Saying, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”
And those who aplundered us requested mirth,
Saying, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”
6 If I do not remember you,
Let my atongue cling to the roof of my mouth—
If I do not exalt Jerusalem
Above my chief joy.
Let my atongue cling to the roof of my mouth—
If I do not exalt Jerusalem
Above my chief joy.
7 Remember, O Lord, against athe sons of Edom
The day of Jerusalem,
Who said,1 “Raze it, raze it,
To its very foundation!”
The day of Jerusalem,
Who said,1 “Raze it, raze it,
To its very foundation!”
8 O daughter of Babylon, awho are to be destroyed,
Happy the one bwho repays you as you have served us!
Happy the one bwho repays you as you have served us!
