Longing for Zion in a Foreign Land

1 By the rivers of Babylon,
There we sat down, yea, we wept
When we remembered Zion.
2 We hung our harps
Upon the willows in the midst of it.
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!” 
4 How shall we sing the Lord’s song
In a foreign land?
5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
Let my right hand forget its skill!
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. 
7 Remember, O Lord, against athe sons of Edom
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!
