An Experience of the Captivity.

1 By the ¹rivers of Babylon, There we sat down and ²wept, When we remembered Zion. 2 Upon the ^a³willows in the midst of it We ⁴hung our ^bharps. 3 For there our captors ^c⁵demanded of us ^dsongs, And ⁶our tormentors mirth, saying, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion." 4 How can we sing ⁷the LORD'S song In a foreign land ? 5 If I ⁸forget you, O Jerusalem, May my right hand ^eforget her skill. 6 May my ⁹tongue cling to the roof of my mouth If I do not remember you, If I do not ^f¹⁰exalt Jerusalem Above my chief joy. 7 Remember, O LORD, against the sons of ¹¹Edom The day of Jerusalem, Who said, "Raze it, raze it ¹²To its very foundation." 8 O daughter of Babylon, you ^g¹³devastated one, How blessed will be the one who ¹⁴repays you With ^hthe recompense with which you have repaid us. 9 How blessed will be the one who seizes and ¹⁵dashes your little ones Against the rock.
