3 For there our captors required of us the words of a song, and our tormentors, joy: “Sing to us a song of Zion.”

4 How can we sing a song of YHWH in a foreign land?

5 If I should forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget.

6 May my tongue cling to my palate, if I do not remember you, if I do not exalt Jerusalem above my chief joy!

7 Remember, O YHWH, about the sons of Edom, on the day of Jerusalem—those saying, “Lay her bare! Lay her bare to her foundation!”

8 O Daughter of Babylon, O destroyed one, blessed is he who repays to you, dealing with you as you have dealt with us!

9 Blessed is he who seizes and dashes your infants against the rock!
