[1] By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down.
Yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
[2] On the willows in that land,
we hung up our harps.
[3] For there, those who led us captive asked us for songs.
Those who tormented us demanded songs of joy:
“Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”
[4] How can we sing Yahweh’s song in a foreign land?
[5] If I forget you, Jerusalem,
let my right hand forget its skill.
[6] Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don’t remember you,
if I don’t prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy.
[7] Remember, Yahweh, against the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem,
who said, “Raze it!
Raze it even to its foundation!”
[8] Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction,
he will be happy who repays you,
as you have done to us.
[9] Happy shall he be,
who takes and dashes your little ones against the rock.
Yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

King James Version
[1] By the riversH5104 of Babylon,H894 there we sat down,H3427(QalPerf) yea, we wept,H1058(QalPerf) when we rememberedH2142(QalInf) Zion.H6726 [2] We hangedH8518(QalPerf) our harpsH3658 upon the willowsH6155 in the midstH8432 thereof. [3] For there they that carried us away captiveH7617(QalActPtc) requiredH7592(QalPerf) of us a song;H1697 and they that wastedH8437 us [required of us] mirth,H8057 [saying], SingH7891(QalImpv) us [one] of the songsH7892 of Zion.H6726 [4] How shall we singH7891(QalImpf) the Lord’sH3068 songH7892 in a strangeH5236 land?H127 [5] If I forgetH7911(QalImpf) thee, O Jerusalem,H3389 let my right handH3225 forgetH7911(QalImpf) [her cunning]. [6] If I do not rememberH2142(QalImpf) thee, let my tongueH3956 cleaveH1692(QalImpf) to the roof of my mouth;H2441 if I preferH5927(HiphImpf) not JerusalemH3389 above my chiefH7218 joy.H8057 [7] Remember,H2142(QalImpv) O Lord,H3068 the childrenH1121 of EdomH123 in the dayH3117 of Jerusalem;H3389 who said,H559(QalActPtc) RaseH6168(PielImpv) [it], raseH6168(PielImpv) [it, even] to the foundationH3247 thereof. [8] O daughterH1323 of Babylon,H894 who art to be destroyed;H7703(QalPasPtc) happyH835 [shall he be], that rewardethH7999(PielImpf) thee as thou hast servedH1580(QalPerf) us. [9] HappyH835 [shall he be], that takethH270(QalImpf) and dashethH5310(PielPerf) thy little onesH5768 against the stones.H5553
