3 for there our captors ask us to compose songs; those who mock us demand that we be happy, saying: |Sing for us a song about Zion!| 4 How can we sing a song to the LORD in a foreign land? 5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand be crippled! 6 May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth, if I do not remember you, and do not give Jerusalem priority over whatever gives me the most joy. 7 Remember, O LORD, what the Edomites did on the day Jerusalem fell. They said, |Tear it down, tear it down, right to its very foundation!| 8 O daughter Babylon, soon to be devastated! How blessed will be the one who repays you for what you dished out to us! 9 How blessed will be the one who grabs your babies and smashes them on a rock! Psalms 137:3-9, New English Translation.
