3 for there our captors requested a song; our tormentors demanded songs of joy: “Sing us a song of Zion.”

4 How can we sing a song of the LORD {YHWH} in a foreign land?

5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem (city of peace), may my right hand cease to function.

6 May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not exalt Jerusalem (city of peace) as my greatest joy!

7 Remember, O LORD {YHWH}, the sons of Edom (red) on the day Jerusalem fell (city of peace): “Destroy it,” they said, “tear it down to its foundations!”

8 O Daughter of Babylon (confusion by mixing), doomed to destruction, blessed is he who repays you as you have done to us.

9 Blessed is he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.
